I wrote a little script for in cron.{hourly,daily,weekly,monthly} (depending on how paranoid you are) that should mail root telling when there are updates...

Code:
#!/bin/sh

# First synchronize the portage tree
emerge rsync > /dev/null

# Make a pretend update of 'world'
# The grep is to try it not to send any mails when it can't find any new things
emerge -p -u world | grep ebuild


I know it works on the shell, but cron did not run my daily yet... :-)

I have made a simular script in perl that will let you alse choose witch packages you wish to upgrade an then start the upgrading process

Code:

#!/usr/bin/perl
$|=1 ;
use strict ;

my $search ;
my $replace ;
my $tmpfl = "/tmp/upgrade.tmp" ;

#Defining Subroutines
#
sub get_info();
sub show_info();
sub selection();
sub clear();
sub filereplace();
sub start();

clear ;

# Let's emerge sync te portage tree
#
print "Synchronize the Portage tree \n" ;
my $updrsync = `emerge rsync` ;

get_info ;
show_info ;

#Here we wil get the info of which packages are ready to be upgraded
#
sub get_info() {
   open(TMP,">$tmpfl");
   print "Making pretend update of world\n" ;
   my @getupdates = `emerge -p -u world` ;         ## This is the commando that i will use to see what the upgrades are
   my $i = 0 ;
   foreach (@getupdates) {
      if (/\[ebuild\s+\\[32/) {
         chomp ;
         my @spl = split /]/ ;
         my @final = split /\// ;
         my @last = split (/\s/,$final[1]) ;
         print TMP "  $i\t$last[0] (NEW)\n" ;
         $i++ ;
      }
      if (/\[ebuild\s+\\[36/) {
         chomp ;
         my @spl = split /]/ ;
         my @final = split /\// ;
         my @last = split (/\s/,$final[1]) ;
               print TMP "  $i\t$last[0] (UPDATE)\n" ;
         $i++ ;
      }
   }
   close(TMP);
}

#Here we will print the packges that can be upgraded on the screen
#
sub show_info() {
   clear ;
   open (TMP2,"<$tmpfl");
   foreach(<TMP2>) {
      print $_ ;               
   }
   close(TMP2) ;
   selection ;
}


#Here you can make you choice of what you want to upgrade
#
sub selection() {
   print "Which Packages do you want to Upgrade or type quit to exit or type go to start upgrading the selected programs.\n" ;
   my $antwoord = <STDIN> ;
   chomp($antwoord);

   if ($antwoord eq "go") {
      &start ;
      exit 1 ;
   }
 
    if ($antwoord eq "quit") {
      exit 0 ;
   }
   
   open(OUT, "$tmpfl");
   my @data2 = <OUT>;
   my $ster = "x $antwoord" ;
   my $gster = "  $antwoord" ;
   foreach (@data2) {
      if (/^$gster/) {
         &filereplace("$gster","$ster") ;
      }
      elsif (/^$ster/) {
         &filereplace("$ster","$gster") ;
      }
   }
   close(OUT);
   show_info ;
}

#In this part we wil add or remove a X to the tmp file
#
sub filereplace() {
   ($search,$replace) = @_ ;

   open(OUT, "$tmpfl");
   my @data = <OUT>;
   close(OUT) ;

   open(OUT, ">$tmpfl") ;
   foreach my $dataline (@data) {
      $dataline =~ s/$search/$replace/gi ;
      print OUT $dataline ;
   }
   close(OUT) ;
   show_info;
}

#And here we wil start the upgrade :P
#
sub start() {
   open(OUT, "$tmpfl") ;
   my @data3 = <OUT> ;
   close(OUT) ;

   my @ARRAY ;

   print "Upgrading the folowing packages\n" ;
   foreach (@data3) {
      if (/^x/) {
         my @spl = split(/\s/) ;
         print "\t$spl[2]\n" ;
         my @spl2 = split(/\./,$spl[2]);
         chop($spl2[0]) ;
         chop($spl2[0]) ;
         my $value = "$spl2[0] ";
         $ARRAY[++$#ARRAY] = $value ;
      }
   }
   my $emerge = `emerge -u @ARRAY`  ;
   print $emerge ;
}

#Here we will clean the screan.
#
sub clear() {
   my $clear = `clear` ;
   print $clear ;
}

Looks good! You might want to make the 'emerge rsync' optional (maybe an argument on the command line so people with low bandwidth don't get forced to run it?).

Would you be able to send me the perl script? I'm having a bit of difficulty weeding out some weird characters that have been chucked in there by the forum.

Good work tho! :)

Yeah, maybe post it without the code tags...

Highlighting it and copying it to nedit or something won't work?

Copy to KEdit, save the file. It will strip the control codes.

It'd be a lot easier to code around emerge if you would set the NOCOLOR environment var to "true".

$ENV{NOCOLOR} = 'true';

That way, you wouldn't have to dig for ANSI codes in the output...

Unfortunately Mozilla doesn't like to copy stuff out of the code boxes. :(

it treats it alot like a JPEG.. at least on my machine. Does anyone else have this problem? (well, doesn't allow you to save it, but it won't let you highlight in there)

Nevermind... it looks like the recent upgrade I did of mozilla fixed that.
alright, I'm golden :)

i have a similar script, but it only mail you when there is a new package to update, and show you the differences between last run.
http://gentoo.ovibes.net/gentoo-updates.cron
Code:

#!/bin/bash

#
# Sebastien ESTIENNE <sebest@ovibes.net>
# http://gentoo.ovibes.net
#

EMAIL="admin@myisp.com"

DIR="/var/cache/gentoo-updates"
VERSION="5"

if [ ! -d ${DIR} ]
then
    mkdir ${DIR}
fi

if [ -f ${DIR}/updates.new ]
then
    mv ${DIR}/updates.new ${DIR}/updates.old
else
    touch ${DIR}/updates.old
fi

emerge sync > ${DIR}/rsync.log
emerge -Up world | grep ebuild | sort >& ${DIR}/updates.new
diff -u0 ${DIR}/updates.old ${DIR}/updates.new | grep ebuild > ${DIR}/updates.diff


#
# creating mail
#
echo "Packages that need to be updaded:" > ${DIR}/updates.mail
cat ${DIR}/updates.new >> ${DIR}/updates.mail
echo >>  ${DIR}/updates.mail
echo "Differences between last run:" >> ${DIR}/updates.mail
cat ${DIR}/updates.diff >> ${DIR}/updates.mail
echo >> ${DIR}/updates.mail
echo "--" >> ${DIR}/updates.mail
echo $0 version ${VERSION} >> ${DIR}/updates.mail

if [ -s ${DIR}/updates.new ] && [ -s ${DIR}/updates.diff ]
then
#    NB_UPDATES=`wc -l ${DIR}/updates.new | cut -f 1 -d " "`
    mail -s "Gentoo Updates At `hostname`" ${EMAIL} < ${DIR}/updates.mail
fi

i also have a similar one, in php though:

Code:

#!/usr/bin/php -f
<?php

$subject='Subject: machine.name - checking for updates';

$notify[]='email@address.com';
$notify[]='email2@address.com';

set_time_limit(3600);

$msg.='Updating the source tree...'.chr(10);

$null=`/usr/bin/emerge sync`.chr(10).chr(10);
$msg.='Checking for updateable packages...'.chr(10).chr(10);

$msg.=`/usr/bin/emerge -U world -p -v`.chr(10).chr(10);
$msg.='Completed!';

$msg=str_replace(chr(8), '', $msg);
$msg=str_replace(chr(27), '', $msg);
$msg=str_replace('\|/-', '', $msg);
$msg=str_replace('\|/', '', $msg);
$msg=str_replace('|/-', '', $msg);
$msg=str_replace('/-', '', $msg);
$msg=str_replace('[36;01mU[0m ]', 'U ]', $msg);

foreach ( $notify as $e ) {
                mail($e, $subject, $msg, "Reply-To: reply@address.com");
        }

?>


hopefully you can see which parts to edit to use it. requires php and set a cronjob to run this (i have it run once a week)

hi there,

excuse me, this is a little bit offtopic: please do not run cron scripts like these (especially with emerge sync included) hourly. you know that linux (gentoo) is free and the resources are limited. please keep in mind that it is voluntary to setup an rsync mirror and that there is always somebody behind who pays for that internet connection.

thanks and greets,
hulk
