+1 to dropping automation or scripting that is not fairly easy to fix. That's not defeatist, just realistic.
Re: the required configuration file, a change to the package message (represented at FreshPorts) will be good, I think.
This is off-topic from the proposed drop, so I'll hide this comment. @nunotexbsd @johnmehr if either of you would like suggested changes, let me know, I can make a PR in this repo.
I'm unfamiliar with FreeBSD's ports architecture, but that's no excuse for me not to learn. :)
I'm ok with dropping the automation and I can manually make changes to gitup.conf whenever new OS releases happen. Should I go ahead and update releng to 14.0 in gitup.conf?
Also, do you know how we can replicate the error Denis is encountering?
Do you know if the same problems happen with net/svnup
? During install, svnup.conf
is also updated with the current OS version. Maybe there is a potential solution there.

net/svnup do changes at build time what gives erroneous info, e.g., pkg builder for 13.2-RELEASE is 13.1-RELEASE, etc
The idea of doing such changes/updates comes with a script that is executed at install time and this way giving user exact values.
If you take a look at PR (updated with more tests) we are getting problems related to mismatch/leftover files because we are messing with @sample macro or with it functionality.
I'm dealing with https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=274955 and can't find a way to solve it.
pkg-post-install
changes gitup.conf.sample after it gets installed and because of that we get a pkg mismatched checksum.My opinion continues the same as at the begining of the port creation, do not do this changes with ports framework, do not do this pkg-post-install script.
Looking at other ports with more or less complexity, they tell user to see examples, pkgname.conf.sample file and it's manual pkgname.conf(8). Also, gitup.conf{.sample} could have more details about FreeBSD branches to follow.
Any help is welcome. Thanks
