Comment (by kencu):

 macports does not as yet have this automated, although it’s 100% possible
 to do so.

 homebrew for example has a github action that runs every night checking
 for updates

 https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-
 core/blob/master/.github/workflows/autobump.yml

 and a script that then generates a pr for the update if there is one

 https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/blob/master/Library/Homebrew/dev-cmd
 /bump-formula-pr.rb

 a human then needs to validate the actual update.
