-Portupgrade is a very powerful tool to upgrade installed packages via

-dependent packages by directly modifying the package info recorded in
-the files under /var/db/pkg.
+Portupgrade is a tool to upgrade installed packages via ports or

-This package also includes:
+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.
-portversion:
- This is a replacement of pkg_version(8), which runs faster
- than pkg_version and is cooperative with portupgrade.
-
-pkgdepfix:
- This is an interactive tool to fix /var/db/pkg's @pkgdep vs.
- +REQUIRED_BY discrepancies, and stale or missing origins,
- optionally.
+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

+portsdb: This is a tool to create, update or look up ports
+ database, which is made from the ports index file.
