Portupgrade is a tool to upgrade installed packages via ports or
packages. It upgrades installed packages without reinstalling
depending or dependent packages by directly updating the package
registry database located under /var/db/pkg. It can also trace
dependency chains up and down and upgrade packages recursively.
