This adds a new target update-packages which will create the new packages compared to the last run.
This is how to use it:
At this point we cut a release
$ make buildworld ...
$ make buildkernel
$ make packages
- There is now a PKG_VERSION directory with latest link pointing to it
- Distribute the packages to server
$ something something that update the source tree
$ make buildworld ...
$ make buildkernel
$ make update-packages
You know have a PKG_VERSION directory in the REPODIR and latest link pointing to it.
In PKG_VERSION dir only the packages which differs from the latest run are named PKG_VERSION, otherwise the old packages are there.
The process is :
Build the new packages in the PKG_VERSION directory
Compare the internal data with the PKG_VERSION_FROM version. The comparison is done by checking the hash
of the files. By default PKG_VERSION_FROM is set to what the latest link points to.
If the old and new version matches, we rm the new package and cp the old one.
