freebsd-ports/ports-mgmt/portcheckout/pkg-descr

The portcheckout(1) reads the /usr/ports/INDEX file and checks-out
a given port and its dependencies.  This makes it easy to use the
ports system without having a full and up-to-date /usr/ports tree.

A typical use would be to connect to the Internet, possibly download
a new INDEX and ports upgrade kit, download a port skeleton with
portcheckout(1), and then build the port.

portcheckout - checkout ports and all depending ports Portcheckout(1) checks out a FreeBSD port and all runtime and buildtime depending ports into the current working directory. The output is written to stdout as an executable shell-script. Compiling a FreeBSD port usually require a full tree of ports in /usr/port. A cvs checkout or a cvs update command takes a very long time and need much free space. With portcheckout, you checkout only the parts of the port tree which you really need. This is a magnitude faster! 1998-11-01 16:42:29 +00:00
