Porteasy lets you install ports and build packages without maintaining
|
|
a full ports tree. It achieves this by scanning the ports index for
|
|
dependency information, and using CVS to update only the ports you
|
|
requested and their dependencies.
|
|
|
|
Here are some of the things porteasy does for you:
|
|
|
|
- automatically update the necessary files (and only the necessary
|
|
files) using CVS (including anoncvs support)
|
|
|
|
- list all of a port's dependencies, optionally hiding those that
|
|
are already installed
|
|
|
|
- fetch all the necessary distfiles right away, in a single batch,
|
|
so you don't have to wait for one dependency to build before
|
|
fetching the next one's distfile. Dialup users will love this.
|
|
|
|
- build and install arbitrary ports.
|
|
|
|
- build packages.
