2001-08-11 21:41:33 +02:00
portinstall: Helps you install new ports in a handy way.
Equivalent to `portupgrade -N'.

portcvsweb: Instantly browses a history via CVSweb.
2001-08-11 23:19:33 +02:00

cooperative with portupgrade(1).
portsclean: Cleans ports workdir's, unreferenced distfiles and
old and orphan shared libraries.
portsdb: Creates binary database from the ports INDEX, and
expands ports globs.
2001-08-11 23:19:33 +02:00
pkg_deinstall: Wraps pkg_delete(1) and provides wildcards and
dependency recursion support, plus some more.
2001-08-11 21:41:33 +02:00
pkg_glob: Expands package globs.
pkgdepfix: Fixes the /var/db/pkg registry interactively.
