README

        
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
