Hi
I am wondering how useful a summary log file option for portupgrade would be.
I have in mind the ability to write to the file each time portupgrade is
invoked. Options starting with items such as:
S: Stats-List # of ports to be upgraded
# ports upgraded so far
# Dependencies to be upgraded
# Dependencies upgraded so far
L: List Port Name
Upgraded/skipped/failed
Dependency Name(1)..(n)
T:Time Run Start Time
PortName- Start_Time
Duration
Finish_Time
might be useful. I do not know how easy it would be to do - someone who is
familar with portupgrade might have something to say about this. If it is
comparatively trivial I would personally welcome such a facility but others
may hold a different view. - If it is not easy to do then I guess there are
many more important things to do.
