daily_updates bash script

A simple script to run common updates and maintanance tasks on FreeBSD stable or current, for those who like to live on the bleeding edge. Great for workstations of lazy devs/users/sysadmins. Requires ports-mgmt/portmaster, devel/git, and root rights.

• Git pulls your configurted src and ports trees.
• Updates FreeBSD binary pkg db.
• Cleans stale port distfiles, packages.
• Checks for stale entries in /var/db/ports.
• Checks for port updates via portmaster.

That's all folks.

• Option for choice of using binary updates vs. compiling your own, some more error checking, makinging it more pretty, perhaps some ZFS snapshot integrations.
