As far as I can see, there's only one script required, which can be based on Jeremy's one in ports/127242 but extended so that: * allow various flags to be passed to sa-update - alternative update channels - extra GPG keys - gpghomedir setting * sa-compile can optionally be run if any updates are downloaded This should be installed as a daily periodic script -- which should be appropriate for most users: anyone wanting more frequent updates can just run it stand-alone as a cron job. Anything else? Jeremy -- any objections to my stealing your script as the basis of this?
There's a .shar of the new port at: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/sa-utils.shar MD5 (sa-utils.shar) = aa1f75d840e97c4759119bf653d292bf SHA256 (sa-utils.shar) = 701d366035a6ff8dedfd33dfe9057bf33f94efd5f8263445561db1e9e98bcfd1 Comments, critique are welcome. Unless there are any killer bugs, I'll send-pr(1) in a week or so.
