mpup: meta driver script for ports(8)
DESCRIPTION
If you are using CRUX, maybe sometimes you want to install an individual port
from a collection, but you do not want to checkout all the entire collection.
Just you can download the port to a 'local directory' and then add a prtdir to
your prt-get.conf file. This should be enough, but unfortunately every time
you want to update the port you couldn't use 'ports -u', and you should update
this 'local directory' manually, and that's for what I wrote this tool.
mpup it's just a driver script for ports(8) that uses a list of httpup/rsync
commands to synchronize individual ports as if it were a real repository.
INSTALLATION
You can use the CRUX's port or use the Makefile such as:
# make install
Also you can use another destination directory like this:
# make install DESTDIR=/opt
Alternatively if you're running CRUX then you can use the Pkgfile in
these sources to create a package:
# pkgmk
USAGE
First of all, enable the meta collection for ports(8):
# mv /etc/ports/meta.mpup.inactive /etc/ports/meta.mpup
Now add every port you want from portdb collections to the list file
(by default: /etc/mpup.lst). For that, you should browse CRUX's portdb
and use the 'download command'.
For example, I like to have mupdf from jue's collection, so I should do:
# echo 'httpup sync http://jue.li/crux/ports/#mupdf mupdf' >> /etc/mpup.lst
Then to update the meta collection just do:
# ports -u meta
Updating collection meta
Checkout: mupdf/
Checkout: mupdf/.footprint
Checkout: mupdf/.md5sum
Checkout: mupdf/Pkgfile
Finished successfully
You should repeat these steps for every port you want.
In addition, if you want to remove a port, just delete the line from the list.
For example, I removed mupdf from my mpup.lst:
# ports -u meta
Updating collection meta
Delete: mupdf/.footprint
Delete: mupdf/.md5sum
Delete: mupdf/Pkgfile
Delete: mupdf/
Finished successfully
Note that you will have the same behaviour when files in a port are
updated/deleted/added by the maintainer:
# ports -u meta
Updating collection meta
Delete: mupdf/Makefile.diff
Edit: mupdf/.md5sum
Edit: mupdf/Pkgfile
Checkout: mupdf/README
Finished successfully
