Portupgrade is a tool to upgrade installed packages via ports or
2002-11-20 09:29:25 +01:00
packages. You can upgrade installed packages without having to
reinstall depending or dependent packages. It can automatically trace
dependency chains up and down upgrading packages recursively.

This package also includes the following utilities:
2001-08-11 21:41:33 +02:00
portinstall: Helps you install new ports in a handy way.
2002-11-20 09:29:25 +01:00
portcvsweb: Instantly lets you browse change history via CVSweb.
portversion: Replaces pkg_version(1) and helps you upgrade packages
with portupgrade(1). (runs much faster)
o Update to 20020205. The best release ever, I hope. :) pkg_deinstall(1), portupgrade(1): - Properly print the legend. pkg_glob(1), portsdb(1): - Do not print an empty line when the result list is empty. pkgdb(1): - Greatly improve the origin fixing procedure. Do the origin duplicateness check before checking dependencies and avoid redoing the origin check. - Show the user CVS history on the spot via the CVSweb. portcvsweb(1): - Allow specifying a no longer existent port file/directory. "portcvsweb net/ruby-uri" now works. - Change the default BROWSER value from 'lynx' to 'w3m:lynx:links:mozilla:netscape'. portupgrade(1): - Fix a bug where portupgrade tried to use a package with a different origin when the package name is identical to that of what it wants except for the version part. pkgdb(3): - Abolish the [You have no permission to update the pkgdb -- using a slow method] message. Instead, run 'pkgdb -u' via sudo(8) when under portupgrade -s, or stop the process immediately with a message that the user must run the command as root. pkgtools.conf(5): - Allow specifying unofficial ports' origin globs in HOLD_PKGS as well as package globs. overall/miscellaneous: - Change --no-config to --noconfig in order to get the -q option really working. Since --no-config was regarded a negative form of --config, it didn't work as expected. - Fix some bugs in the zsh compdefs and add missing descriptions for some options. o Use bzip2 instead of gzip for the distribution tarball to save 20KB. As the portupgrade user base is growing significantly, I'll get more serious about the download size issue from now on. The next few releases will be distributed in patches against this version.
