Hi everyone, I am looking for advises... I am planning to write some script to automate the maintenance of packages on a machine. The goal is to have always the latest version of packages installed if possible, otherwise fallback to the last stable version. I am using pkg_chk, and therefore I have a list of the packages I want to have and maintain on my machine in a pkgchk.conf
I've been using pkgmanager (1) for some weeks now, and like it a lot. I don't think it does everything on your list but maybe it could be a starting point for you.
