Can I have this list generated automatically with a query to the pkg
database somehow? I admit I skipped this step.

I have too:

./include/harfbuzz/hb.h

and if I chek .buildlink:

./.buildlink/include/harfbuzz/hb.h -> /usr/pkg/include/harfbuzz/hb.h

looks fine, doesn't it? it also is, the link resolves (trikcy... from
NFS to a mounted disk... but it works)

I have set up to create binaries and save them, so I can then reinstall
them on another SparcStation!

I nuked all workdirs! rebuilt harfbuzz...

It is really minimal:

MAKE_JOBS=     2

# define things for pkgsrc

# create also all dependencies
DEPENDS_TARGET=package-install

# work here
WRKOBJDIR=/home/pkg-workdir

# save our tarball packages here
PACKAGES=/disk2/packages

I just dumped a tarball, I am not following CVS, I don't intend to
continously rebuild, just to have a complete environment.
I think I have 2020Q1, but how do I practically can know? There is no
release file or such

I can do that, but I somehow wanted a "consistent" upgrade, before
cycling again, i fear a spiral of death here.

I am do not want to rebuild everything - I want to use ready binary
packages and just integrade what was broken due to openssl breakage
which I worked around thanks to Romain's help... just the delta.


in the meanwhile, can I easily know which installed packages are still
on 7 and not 8?
