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
* Runs make clean before starting the build (can be disabled)
* 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
* Options to make packages out of installed, and new ports
* Option to clean out stale port dependencies
* Downloads distfiles in the background
