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, while it can also trace
dependency chains up and down to upgrade packages recursively.
This package also includes the following utilities:
portinstall: Helps you install new ports in a handy way.
Equivalent to `portupgrade -N'.
portcvsweb: Instantly browses a history via CVSweb.
portversion: Replaces pkg_version(1). This runs much faster and is
cooperative with portupgrade(1).
portsclean: Cleans ports workdir's and unreferenced distfiles.
portsdb: Creates binary database from the ports INDEX.
pkg_deinstall: Wraps pkg_delete(1) and provides wildcards and
dependency recursion support, plus some more.
pkg_glob: Expands package globs.
pkgdepfix: Fixes the /var/db/pkg registry interactively.
