what would I even look for to find the scripts to build a package on here to update it myself?

as blender is always updating faster then maintainers like to maintain there packages for the most part. where do I go to get there scripts they should be using to keep there package updated to I can use them to update the package myself?

would this be a good guild to use and keep in local by not setting up a web serve and keys (skip that part)


and how would I make sure it is pulling the latest versions of needed software, deps?
 
There are usually no "hidden" scripts that ports maintainers use to update ports. It should all be in the port.

You start updating by editing the version number in the port's Makefile. Then you fetch and adjust the checksum(s). Then you `make patch` and fix those patches that don't fit the new version anymore. Then you fix new compile errors.

Blender is probably not a good port to use for your first port update experience.
