If you want to upgrade an existing installation, you will be better # served using the pkgtools directly. Here's how to upgrade all the packages in # this series: # # upgradepkg *.t?z (upgrades already installed packages) # installpkg *.t?z (installs all packages, to make sure new ones are installed) # # If you upgrade a series like this, afterwards you might need to merge over any # required changes in the new config files, which will have the suffix .new. # These can be found like this: # # find / -name "*.new" # # OK, on with the show! Enjoy! :-) # # Patrick Volkerding # Use the existing maketag script to provide a package selection menu: sh maketag # Quick bail if nothing was requested: if grep ADD /var/log/setup/tmp/SeTnewtag 1> /dev/null 2> /dev/null ; then true else rm -f /var/log/setup/tmp/SeTnewtag exit fi # Install the selected packages: for PKG in *.t?z ; do if [ ! "$ROOT" = "" ]; then installpkg -root $ROOT -infobox -tagfile /var/log/setup/tmp/SeTnewtag $PKG else installpkg -infobox -tagfile /var/log/setup/tmp/SeTnewtag $PKG fi done rm -f /var/log/setup/tmp/SeTnewtag echo echo "Done installing packages."
