Description Marek Zarychta 2021-07-23 18:58:32 UTC 
net/gitup with this config:

        "ports" : {
                "repository" : "/ports.git",
                "branch"     : "main",
                "target"     : "/usr/ports",
                "ignores"    : [
                        "distfiles",
                        "packages",
                ],
        },

is leaving stale patches, for example after recent texinfo update after running "gitup ports" it has left /usr/ports/texinfo/files/patch-tp-Texinfo-XS-parsetexi-Parser-5556.pm and patch-tp-Texinfo-XS-parsetexi-errors.c which both should have been deleted. Such a mess leads usually only to breakage at the patching stage (see below), but could probably lead to more pessimistic endings.

===>  Patching for texinfo-6.8,1
===>  Applying FreeBSD patches for texinfo-6.8,1 from /usr/ports/print/texinfo/files
File to patch: ^C===>  FAILED Applying FreeBSD patch-tp-Texinfo-XS-parsetexi-Parser-5556.pm
===> FAILED to apply cleanly FreeBSD patch(es)  patch-tp-Texinfo-XS-parsetexi-Parser-5556.pm
*** Error code 1
*** Signal 2

It's only an example, I have fallen into this many times, especially while updating python modules.

> … Are you affected too?

I don't know, I rarely use gitup, I did find myself bugged by <https://github.com/johnmehr/gitup/issues/69> on a test machine.

Hello,

I've updated port to latest version and I'm starting doing tests to see if I get same errors as listed.

Please let me know if problem continues so we could open an issue at upsream based on this PR.

Cheers

And my gitup.conf is a fresh one:

"ports" : {
                "repository_path"  : "/ports.git",
                "branch"           : "main",
                "target_directory" : "/usr/ports",
                "ignores"          : [
                        "distfiles",
                        "packages",
                        "INDEX-11",
                        "INDEX-12",
                        "INDEX-13",
                        "INDEX-14",
               ],
        },

Thank you for taking care of this. I will test and let you know if it helped.
Comment 8 Nuno Teixeira freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2021-09-13 07:40:57 UTC 
I will close this PR since there is no issues at gitup site.
