Hi,
Is there a way to tell which ports might require dialog input during update,
i have some auto update scripts which when prompted will run through
updates, but occassionally i forget which will require user input and
this leads to dialog running ( often @ 100%) until i notice.
Obviously i only do this for what i'd consider to be trivial updates and
it makes things a lot quicker when you have a lot of boxes to do!
I had initialy thought that checking for make targets might be an idea,
the lack of a config target for example.
On one box which does have a config/options target, i see options come
up via dialog.
/usr/ports/security/p5-IO-Socket-SSL
brings up the config options for this port, both unchecked
[ ] IDN International Domain Names (IDN) support x x
[ ] IPV6 IPv6 support
on another box there's no dialog from either an update via portupgarde
or via a direct make in the port dir ( make config is the same on both
and does bring up the dialog)
the Makefiles are identical both in the ports dir and in the work dir,
both systems are 8.2-REL.
Can i programmatically tell if user input is required?
thanks
Paul.
