Portupgrade is a tool to upgrade installed packages via ports or
|
|
packages. Also, it allows you to install new ports/packages in a
|
|
handy way.
|
|
|
|
It upgrades installed packages without reinstalling depending or
|
|
dependent packages by directly updating the package registry database
|
|
located under /var/db/pkg. Moreover, it can trace dependency chains
|
|
up and down and upgrade packages recursively.
|
|
|
|
This package also includes the following utilities:
|
|
portinstall: This is an equivalent to `portupgrade -N', which means
|
|
it by default tries to install a new one when a
|
|
specified package is not installed.
|
|
portversion: This is a replacement of pkg_version(8), which runs
|
|
faster than pkg_version and is cooperative with
|
|
portupgrade.
|
|
portsdb: This is a tool to create, update or look up ports
|
|
database, which is made from the ports index file.
|
|
pkgdepfix: This is an interactive tool to fix /var/db/pkg's
|
|
@pkgdep vs. +REQUIRED_BY discrepancies, and stale or
|
|
missing origins, optionally.
