Re: script to update my ports tree

Try putting that in and see what happens. You need something like this, or the script will just fall off the last case statement, which does nothing: case $var in yes) do stuff here ;; *) ;; esac Also, you can simplify the script somewhat - you don't need to jump through all those hoops with sed and awk to create a supfile on the fly - just put this in your /etc/make.conf file, which does the same as your selectserver() function: SUP_UPDATE= yes SUP=/usr/bin/csup SUPFLAGS= -g SUPHOST=`/usr/local/bin/fastest_cvsup -Qc uk,fr,nl` SUPFILE=/etc/cvsup/system The -Q option to fastest_cvsup returns just the hostname of the fastest server, so no need to set up an enormous pipeline of tools. Alter the rest of the script to call 'make update' from /usr/ports, and you're done. Alternatively, you can use portsnap(8) instead - it automatically selects one of the available mirrors and uses it. However, you will need to do a bit of work to set this up - remove your ports tree (no, seriously - follow along, this is good), then run: # portsnap fetch extract Now your script just needs to call # portsnap fetch update and that's it. This has the advantage that you don't need to cd to /usr/ports for it to work. HTH, one way or another...
