I believe that 'portupgrade -n' only works right for ports which
you have already installed.
Yes... That is the conclusion I have come to.
I'm sure what I am trying to accomplish is just one savvy shell
script away.... I'm just not that savvy though. If I can't find
something which already does what I'm looking for.... I'll muddle
through writing a script to do it.
If there isn't anything which already exists, then I'd try something
along the lines of 'cd'-ing into the directory of the port you want
to install, and getting the output of:
make -V RUN_DEPENDS -V BUILD_DEPENDS -V LIB_DEPENDS
(that should give you three lines, some or all of which might be
blank lines). Each non-blank line will be of the form "a1:b1 a2:b2 ...",
where each "a" is a pathname, and each "b" is a portname.
I'll leave it to you to decide where you go from there...
Thanks for the pointers.
You might want to check through: cd /usr/ports/sysutils/port*
and see if any of those already do what you want to see done.
Will do.
