This is quite complex, time consuming and prone to error the more ports tree
and installed ports are out of sync. Either way, you will want to compare
files against the generate-plist target (and the resulting contents of
$TMPPLIST), as more and more ports use dynamic package list features.
To prevent this from happening in the future, I've written a small periodic
script that you can put in /usr/local/etc/periodic/daily and backs up the list
of origins of installed ports.
On the first run (or more to the point, if /var/backup/pkglist.prev doesn't
exist), it will dump the current list. Otherwise, it will compare with the
previous run and provide a diff if anything changed. So:
- if you set $daily_backup_pkglist_enable to YES in /etc/periodic.conf
- if you have daily reports mailed to an off-machine address
- and if you keep the first run and all diffs
You can recreate an accurate list of installed ports, when applying all diffs
in sequence, even if you newfs'd /var on the machine.
