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.
This package also includes the following utilities:
portinstall: This helps you install new ports in a handy way.
Equivalent to `portupgrade -N'.
portversion: This is a replacement of pkg_version(8), which runs
faster than pkg_version and is cooperative with
portupgrade.
portsdb: This is a tool to create, update or look up ports
database, which is made from the ports index file.
pkg_deinstall: This is a package deinstaller with wildcards and
dependency recursion support.
pkg_glob: This is a package glob expander with wildcards and
dependency recursion support.
pkgdepfix: This is an interactive tool to fix /var/db/pkg's
@pkgdep vs. +REQUIRED_BY discrepancies, and stale or
missing origins, optionally.
