pkg update and pkg upgrade works fine for me too, but pkg updating not. pkg
updating is intended to read /usr/ports/UPDATING file and compare its content
to installed packages and show important messages before running `pkg upgrade`.
But UPDATING file is not automatically synchronised between build server and
'client' (machine where I need to run `pkg updating`).
Absolute crude hack, but maybe works for you.
Please note the port is absolute not supported and breaks many porting rules ...
Instead installing the file on the servers to /usr/ports it can be installed
anywhere and then use `pkg updating -f $file'
It should be also the first port that is updated before all other ports
on you build host:
$ mkdir /usr/ports/misc/updating
cat > /usr/ports/misc/updating/Makefile << _EOF
PORTNAME= updating
PORTVERSION!= /bin/date -j "+%Y%m%d.%H%M"
CATEGORIES= misc
MASTER_SITES= # none
DISTFILES= # none
MAINTAINER= updat...@example.org
COMMENT= UPDATING info
LICENSE= BSD2
NO_BUILD= yes
WRKSRC= ${WRKDIR}/UPDATING
SRC= ${PORTSDIR}/UPDATING
PLIST_FILES= ${PORTSDIR}/UPDATING
PLIST_DIRS= ${PORTSDIR}
do-extract:
@${DO_NADA}
do-install:
@${MKDIR} ${STAGEDIR}/${PORTSDIR}
${INSTALL_DATA} ${PORTSDIR}/UPDATING ${STAGEDIR}/${PORTSDIR}
.include <bsd.port.mk>
_EOF
cat > /usr/ports/misc/updating/pkg-descr << _EOF
ports UPDATING file
_EOF
Really nice hack! :) Maybe I will give it a try.
The only other workaround I found is copy UPDATING by scp or rsync from
build servers to "clients" periodically by cron job.
