Solved 'poudriere bulk' not finding updates to the tree

[astyle]

Porter's Handbook, Ch. 6, Special Considerations, Section 6.13, Using KDE pointed me to /usr/ports/Mk/Uses/kde.mk. Studying that file suggested to me that yeah, this is where the KF5 and Plasma 5 versions are hard-coded, and that's what keeps throwing Poudriere and Synth off.
--
A conclusion: from /usr/ports/Mk/Uses/kde.mk, I want to be able to:

• Change line 78, KDE_PLASMA_VERSION from 5.21.5 to 5.22.5, and
• Change line 82, KDE_FRAMEWORKS_VERSION from 5.82.0 to 5.85.0.

Everything I do gotta revolve around that. Which means I gotta rework my lists. One list for copying EVERYTHING necessary out of date-stamped tarballs, and one for compiling. Or maybe for installations from my pkg repos, as well.

Can somebody knowledgeable weigh in and tell me if I'm on the right track here?

…, KDE_PLASMA_VERSION from 5.21.5 to 5.22.5, …

Remind me, please, why 5.22.5?

As far as I can tell (if the port below corresponds to KDE_PLASMA_VERSION), 5.22.5 is probably inferior to what's in quarterly.

Ah, by now it's just for practice. I am aware that it's a few iterations behind - I'd like to get the process of upgrading ironed out, and this is just some old stuff to practice on.

Yeah, remembering the Mk/Uses/kde.mk was the difference. Now Poudriere is seeing the correct versions, the changes, and is compiling correct version of KDE components. PHEEWW! Marking this thread as SOLVED.
