I know you really shouldn’t automatically update anything but right now I have cronie installed and setting it to do git -C /boot/home/haikuports pull at midnight i mean, I guess maybe I could it create a run time log or something but the consequences of using something like crontab you would kind of have to leave your computer running all the time meh i sorta do that anyway
Having a clone of HaikuPorts git repository is only useful for people wanting to contribute to HaikuPorts. When someone wants to add/modify or delete something in its local clone of Haikuports, in the ends he’ll have to use git commands.
Automatically git pull to refresh the master local branch could lead to unwanted resync/rebase of pending new port(s) branch(es) one could have.
May I ask why you want/need to have your local clone of HaikPorts being automatically up-to-date?
I just want to have the latest version of things i also don’t mind testing things out speaking of which there’s a few things i wanna try porting over to haiku maybe even setup my own repository
If/when you will want to contribute your own ports (or fix/upgrade existing ones), it will be the exact moment when you won’t want anymore some auto update to happen automatically.
But if you want really want this automatic update, you could modify the suggested hp alias on haikuporter to do git pull on master branch automatically before calling the haikuporter command.
I guess I could do that
