portmanager install from packages (please)
Hi, I've lately been using portmanager on my build host, instead of portupgrade, to rebuild ports and produce packages and I'm impressed. But now I want more... It seems to me that one of the greatest benefits of portmanager is that it is a compiled executable, and thus doesn't rely on Ruby. In our environment, where ports are built on one machine and then installed from packages on others, it would make a lot of sense if I didn't have to install Ruby just so that I can run portupgrade. All I really want to do is put the new packages on the machine and upgrade from those, using a single binary that doesn't require extra support. But, brilliant though it is, I can't do this with portmanager. Now, it occurs to me that I could just do something as simple as run pkg_delete/pkg_add against the most recently available packages, but I'm sure I'd risk breaking something on a critical host. Extending portmanager to perform this function seems logical. cheers, -- Joel Hatton -- Infrastructure Manager | Hotline: +61 7 3365 4417 AusCERT - Australia's national CERT | Fax: +61 7 3365 7031 The University of Queensland| WWW: www.auscert.org.au Qld 4072 Australia | Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
