Updating a Rust port

OpenBSD rust ports have always been a bit tricky for me to update. Remembering the steps is a pain and there isn’t a clear “path” in the docs.

Recently someone asked me for some guidance on how to do an update.. and while writing out the steps I got frustrated and finally put things into a script.

Here is a error-check-less approach to updating a rust port:

#!/bin/sh

set -eu

PORT="$(make show=PKGNAME)"

mv -v crates.inc crates.old
touch crates.inc
make makesum
make modcargo-gen-crates > /tmp/${PORT}.crates.inc
grep ^MODCARGO /tmp/${PORT}.crates.inc > crates.inc
make clean
make makesum
make modcargo-gen-crates-licenses > /tmp/${PORT}.license.inc
grep ^MODCARGO /tmp/${PORT}.license.inc > crates.inc
rm crates.old
make clean
make && make package
