OUTDATED-PERL-PORTS(1)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so outdated-perl-ports(1) — from the General Commands Manual — is literally here to compare CPAN releases and the ports tree. that's the whole vibe, bestie. 🫶

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

outdated-perl-ports [-d] [-m maintainer]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So here's the tea: outdated-perl-ports retrieves and compares the packages list provided by CPAN with the ports recorded in ${LOCALBASE}/share/ports-INDEX, and then it reports which ports have a newer version available upstream. iconic behavior, honestly. 👑

🚨 important side quest: the portslist package must be installed. no cap, don't skip that one.

The options are giving very much “small but mighty”:

• -d — causes outdated-perl-ports to show the path (relative to ${PORTSDIR}) for the outdated port. yes, the actual path. path reveal era. 💅
• -m maintainer — only display ports that are being maintained by maintainer. this can be specified as a name or an e-mail address. filtering? slay. ✨
