Getting port version

[Baho Utot]

I am creating a bourne script ( I would use python but that is not in
base ) to build packages.

Synth, poudiere etc will not work, this is for a raspberry pi 2 and
those tools don't run on the platform

I need to get the port version from the port

1. so I can construct a string and have a look see if that port
is already in the repository

2. I want to know what version I am building

I have tried:

#!/bin/sh

for a in "dns/unbound ports-mgmt/pkg lang/perl5.20" ; do
VERSION="$( grep PORTVERSION= /usr/ports/${a}/Makefile )"

printf "Package: %s Version: %s\n" "${a}" "${VERSION##*=}"

done


That fails because all ports don't follow that, for instance:

lang/perl5.20 has PORTVERSION= ${PERL_VERSION}

ports-mgmt/pkg has DISTVERSION= <what ever>

Is there some other way I can fetch the version from the Makefile?

Use make(1):

make -C /usr/ports/some/thing -V PKGNAME

or

make -C /usr/ports/some/thing -V PORTVERSION

I think it should be sufficient to run this from within the port directory:
$ make -VPORTVERSION

You can use that technique to print out any other Makefile variable values.

Hello

I am not sure but maybe you can find a tool for building packages in ports-mgmt ? I was thinking about portmaster for example.

Kind regards

I have been missing my daily beatings and I have not had a good one
lately so I am going to roll my own ;)

Thanks

make -C /usr/ports/some/thing -V PKGNAME
or
make -C /usr/ports/some/thing -V PORTVERSION

or PKGVERSION - PORTVERSION doesn't include the epoch
