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. + + -- des@freebsd.org |
