I recently heard about Portshaker, and thought I might give it a go to replace the ad-hoc script I currently use to manage local port overlays.
First, are there any plans to support rsync as an update method for source trees? It was a little strange to discover that this was not directly possible. Second, after pounding my overlay into something resembling a proper tree, I encountered some strangeness with regards to custom categories. portshaker.conf: ----8<---- use_zfs="yes" mirror_base_dir="/srv/ports" ports_trees="main" main_ports_tree="/usr/ports" main_zfs_dataset="mtumishi/devel/ports" main_merge_from="freebsd cdn" ----8<---- The 'freebsd' source is updated via portsnap, and the 'cdn' source via git from http://git.cyberleo.net/cdn-ports-overlay.git branch 'portshaker'. Both updates work fine. ls -la /srv/ports/cdn: ----8<---- drwxr-xr-x 8 root wheel 13 Feb 13 10:12 .git -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 0 Feb 13 10:12 .gitignore -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 19 Feb 13 10:12 Makefile.local drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 3 Feb 13 10:17 Mk drwxr-xr-x 7 root wheel 8 Feb 13 10:12 misc-cdn drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 3 Feb 13 10:12 net ----8<---- The changes in Mk/bsd.local.mk appear to be carried over properly, but Makefile.local is ignored and portshaker appears to have trouble merging the misc-cdn category: ----8<---- (ee95ca16)[cyberleo@mtumishi ~]$ sudo portshaker -Mv [Info 10:49:24] Cloning '/srv/ports/freebsd' to '/usr/ports'. [Info 10:49:33] Merging '/srv/ports/cdn' to '/usr/ports'. [Warn 10:49:33] misc-cdn/Makefile: No Makefile in this directory! cp: /usr/ports/misc-cdn/bash-config: No such file or directory [Error 10:49:33] Cannot merge misc-cdn/bash-config. ----8<---- It strikes me as strange that it would assume Makefile is a directory; but, given the nature of portshaker, I would expect it to manage the category Makefile properly regardless. It also seems to forget to create custom category directories in the target, and so fails when merging the ports under them. Am I approaching this with incorrect expectations? Are there any hints to be provided on how I might more effectively leverage this tool?
