[Asterisk-bsd] port update recipe using portmanager

[Dr. Rich Murphey]

For those that use FreeBSD ports, here's
a recipe for updating ports using portmanager.

First, ensure that portmanager, etc., are installed:

pkg_add -r portmanager fastest_cvsup cvsup-without-gui

Then, add definitions to make.conf to define
how /usr/ports is updated:

cat <<EOF >>/etc/make.conf
SUP_UPDATE=yes
PORTSSUPFILE=/usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile
SUPHOST=`fastest_cvsup -Q  -c US`
SUPFLAGS=-g -L 0
EOF

Note: Change US to your country code if you're not in the US.

Then, update the ports.  This can be done on
a daily basis:

cat <<EOF >>/etc/daily.local
cd /usr/ports
make update fetchindex
portmanager -u -y -l
pkgdb --autofix
portsclean -CDD
EOF

However, if this is done on a daily basis, it will fail
to restart services that are updated unless portmanager
is configured specifically to restart them using
something like this.

cat <<EOF >>/usr/local/etc/portmanager/pm-020.conf
STOP|/net/asterisk /usr/local/etc/rc.d/asterisk stop|
START|/net/asterisk /usr/local/etc/rc.d/asterisk start|
EOF
