Hi,
My KF5 Portfile now contains about 60 subports, one for each KF5 framework plus
a few meta-ports. At the moment I still use "inlined" checksums, which makes
applying upgrades quite cumbersome (requiring manual copy/paste).
It would be possible to write a script that invokes `port fetch` to get the
updated distfiles, calculates the corresponding checksums and then creates a
table. I feel that would only be a real solution if that table can be stored in
a separate file, to be sourced by the Portfile. Adding a large table at the top
of a Portfile that is already quite long isn't going to make it any wieldier
(even if it means removing as many 2-line statements from all subports).
I've toyed with Portfiles sourcing other files before, and that usually led to
(bogus) errors being printed about those sourced files, when uninstalling or
de/activating ports. Is there a way to do this without raising such messages,
e.g. by reading the file from ${filespath}?
Thanks,
R.
