This script uses the existing ports infrastructure to track dependencies,
|
|
and to keep those dependencies up to date. Because it is written in /bin/sh,
|
|
it needs no other languages installed.
|
|
|
|
Portmaster has the following features:
|
|
* User can specify the port to upgrade (or install) either by directory
|
|
in /usr/ports, or by directory in /var/db/pkg
|
|
* 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
|
|
* 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 /usr/ports/MOVED
|
|
* Supports 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
