pkg_fetch: - Yet another new utility, which downloads binary packages from a remote site. Optionally it can also download the required packages recursively. portupgrade: - Do not regard "no package found" as an error when upgrading packages with -PP. pkgdepfix, portsclean -L: - Fix a problem where the ruby 1.6.4 release fails in error. Reported by: David Wolfskill <david@catwhisker.org> portcvsweb: - Explicitly execute a browser via /bin/sh, as the specification says. other stuff: - Improve the manpage and the completion definitions.

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, while it can also trace
|
|
dependency chains up and down to upgrade packages recursively.
|
|
|
|
This package also includes the following utilities:
|
|
portinstall: Helps you install new ports in a handy way.
|
|
Equivalent to `portupgrade -N'.
|
|
portcvsweb: Instantly browses a history via CVSweb.
|
|
portversion: Replaces pkg_version(1). This runs much faster and is
|
|
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.
|
|
pkg_deinstall: Wraps pkg_delete(1) and provides wildcards and
|
|
dependency recursion support, plus some more.
|
|
pkg_fetch: Fetches packages from a remote site.
|
|
pkg_glob: Expands package globs.
|
|
pkgdepfix: Fixes the /var/db/pkg registry interactively.
