i keep *trying* to move from portupgrade to portmaster
I've been using ports-mgmt/portupgrade pretty much ever since it started to exist. Unfortunately portupgrade seems to be pretty much abandonware so I've been told to move on to portmaster. Despite the very long manpage I can't seem to be able to achieve the following thing with portmaster: $ portupgrade --batch -a If I issue this command I know exactly that I can go out, have a drink, cook some dinner and unlock my workstation the next day and find that everything completed unless a port failed to build. With portmaster I get asked a s*t load of interactive questions, whether I want to delete some package, whether it's really okay to pull in all the dependencies and so on. Can someone spoonfeed me the command I need to issue with portmaster in order to achieve the same thing as with $ portupgrade --batch -a Is that even possible? $ portupgrade --batch -a Thanks in advance!

But also see below. Doug, One fallback that I cannot seem to get over is the creation of a backup package failed do you want to ignore [i] message prompt the package messages that are displayed with $PAGER at the end of the upgrades. I do not recall the packages that his had happened on, it does not happen often but when it did happen it was just before a nice long compile of OpenOffice :( while I was gone. The pkg-message problem has been stumping me since it inhibits my use of pwait(1) on another terminal. For instance I started a portmaster -a on one terminal and issued pwait(1) on another so I could build a new kernel and world right after a ports(7) upgrade. Since the pkg-message is displayed with PAGER obviously the initial portmaster process never terminates and post processes are revolving so they would/could exit to soon. Do not prompt for a backup package creation failure and force creation of whatever you have on the system already? Configuration option to email the output of upgraded packages and their pkg-message or a similar option to just log to a file? Also I still see a need for installing a /usr/local/etc/portmaster.rc.sample file for whatever version is installed and seperating that from the man page. This would make it much easier on the end user to configure portmaster for options they see fit. Forwarded apologies if any of this is confusing.

Looking at sudoers(5) it doesn't seem that I can easily use different settings per tty. And I'm *satisfied* with default timeout. Increasing timeout or not using password is more insecure than preventing timestamp from expiring in an isolated tty (screen/tmux). ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Stepping down from my ports
Dear porters, unfortunately I need to step down from all the FreeBSD ports that I currently maintain, namely: audio/ices0 audio/linux-shoutcast audio/shoutcast benchmarks/nbench devel/libgee games/avanor games/crimson games/wrogue irc/minbif misc/apparix multimedia/gpodder net-im/pino net-mgmt/nagios-check_ice net-mgmt/nagios-check_nick net-mgmt/nipper net/p5-Event-tcp security/py-otr Sorry - I don't take this easily. I really enjoyed working with the community but due to a new employment and many other changes in my life I'm currenty too much under water to find the time to maintain these. I don't like stupidly approving patches from people that would be better maintainers than me anyway... I will keep maintaining comms/p5-SMS-SMS77 because upstream stopped development and I heavily depend on this port. I surely will be back some day picking up a port here and there, but for now: pleae pick up these small, poor ports and treat them with love :) Thanks, Frank ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Now that you've been more specific about what you want, I have good news for you. :) In the current development version of portmaster I have revamped the -G option so that it acts more like BATCH=YES in the sense that it specifically skips all OPTIONS dialogs. Therefore you should be able to accomplish at least this part of what you want with -G alone, without using BATCH=YES at all. I plan to commit the update very soon, hopefully this weekend.

I do not recall the packages that his had happened on, it does not happen often but when it did happen it was just before a nice long compile of OpenOffice :( while I was gone. The pkg-message problem has been stumping me since it inhibits my use of pwait(1) on another terminal. For instance I started a portmaster -a on one terminal and issued pwait(1) on another so I could build a new kernel and world right after a ports(7) upgrade. Since the pkg-message is displayed with PAGER obviously the initial portmaster process never terminates and post processes are revolving so they would/could exit to soon. To deal with this you can use PAGER=cat, either on the command line, or you can put it in a portmaster rc file. Do not prompt for a backup package creation failure I need to add an option for this, but it will likely be an expert option that you can set in the rc file. The theory is that package creation failure should be a rare thing, and since portmaster has no way to know what packages are really critical to any given system it treats inability to safely recover from an upgrade failure as a critical error. However, having the ability to disable this is an oft-requested feature, I just haven't gotten to it yet. I actually took a look at the code in this area last night with an eye towards creating this option, I'll see if I can get it done for the next release. and force creation of whatever you have on the system already? Not sure what this means, can you explain it in more detail? Configuration option to email the output of upgraded packages and their pkg-message or a similar option to just log to a file? The ability to log actions to a file is already in the dev version in svn. You have to specify PM_LOG in your rc file. I want to see how that goes first before I consider adding a command line option for it. I don't anticipate adding e-mail functionality to portmaster, that sounds like something that should be done in a wrapper script, along with PM_LOG. (Although, there was a meme from the early days that no Unix app is complete until it grows the ability to do e-mail, so you never know ...) Also I still see a need for installing a /usr/local/etc/portmaster.rc.sample file for whatever version is installed and seperating that from the man page. This would make it much easier on the end user to configure portmaster for options they see fit. Yeah, I think you're probably right that it's time to do this. The current system actually makes it easier for me to keep the docs up to date when I add new options, but maybe if I remove that bit the man page won't seem so scary. :) Doug -- Improve the effectiveness of your Internet presence with a domain name makeover!http://SupersetSolutions.com/ Computers are useless.

ID, but can't seem to tell how to make sure that the USERS are created

Not sure of examples but if you use
USERS= me
GROUPS= ${USERS}
When you install, it will first check/install the users.
If you note:
SHAREOWN=me
SHAREGRP=${SHAREOWN}
It will then install the files with this ownership if you are using the install
macro that use these variables (ie. COPYTREE_SHARE)
Take a look at bsd.port.mk. It's all in there.
Hope this helps!

I realize the backup package feature sort of does the same thing, but reconciling the pre- and post- updates is a tough thing for me. Having a user defined directory all currently installed ports can be put in is much easier to work with IMO. I know of other people doing similar things because I shared my script on questions- and got a few responses awhile ago. It sounds like you want to add the option(s) for create and keep a backup package of an installed port and/or create a package of the new port either to your command line, wrapper script, or a portmaster rc file. You could use the command line above to create an up to date repository of your currently installed packages, and the 2 options above would both make sure you can back out an update and keep your local package repo up to date automatically. In the upcoming portmaster version there is also a new feature to clean out stale stuff from your $PACKAGES directory similarly to the way the feature to clean out stale distfiles works now, which should help you in keeping the repository described above fairly un-crufty. hth, Doug -- Improve the effectiveness of your Internet presence with a domain name makeover!http://SupersetSolutions.com/ Computers are useless.

Port stuck in the pipe

It's a game, so I understand it being a low priority, but I'm wondering if there is anything I can do to help the process along.
