This script uses the existing ports infrastructure to track dependencies,
and keep them up to date. It is written in /bin/sh so it has no dependencies.
Portmaster has the following features:
* Updates and repairs (as needed) entries for dependencies in both +CONTENTS
and +REQUIRED_BY files for both the port that is being updated, and any
ports that depend on it
* Runs make config recursively through all ports before starting build
* Downloads distfiles in the background
* Recursively checks and upgrades (or installs) all dependencies
* User can force upgrades of all dependent ports
* Offers the user the opportunity to delete stale distfiles
* Supports ports/MOVED and non-default settings of PORTSDIR and PKG_DBDIR
* Interactive update mode (prompts for each update)
* Option to rebuild port, and ports that depend on it
* Options to make packages out of installed, and new ports
* Option to clean out stale port dependencies
* Options to list installed ports by category, and those with new versions
* Packages can be used for installation either exclusively, if available,
or only for build dependencies
*** Package installation support requires FreeBSD 6.4 or newer ***
