A user pointed out to me that on the project ideas page the following
entry remains:
Write a new utility for the pkg_install suite, possibly named
pkg_upgrade(1), implementing a subset of existing portupgrade
functionality. The required functionality is:
* fixing @pkgdep records in +CONTENTS file
* fixing +REQUIRED_BY records
* storing old copies of shared libraries after shmajor number change
in /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg
* upwards and downwards recursive modes
http://www.freebsd.org/projects/ideas/index.html#p-ports-upgrade
Last year around SoC time I mentioned that if we are going to have such a
utility in the base that I would like to have portmaster considered for
that role. At the time I was told that I needed to implement the 3rd item
on that list, which I did. Portmaster already has the other 3 features,
plus a lot more.
So, I renew my inquiry. :) Is portmaster a suitable candidate to fulfill
the role of the utility described, and if not, why not?
Also to rehash a bit of last year's discussion, I don't particularly feel
that we _should_ have this type of utility in the base, I think ports
stuff should be in the ports tree modulo the few bits needed to bootstrap
like pkg_add. However, iff we are going to import _something_, I'd like to
have portmaster considered for the job.
Thanks,
Doug
