A tool for updating your ports.

[[http://www.freebsdonline.com/content/view/846/524/|Rebuild a port and all it's dependencies]]

==== Howto ====

== Batch upgrade all ports ==

<code>
portmaster -G -a
</code>

== Check all ports dependecies ==

In cases where the dependecies needs fixing, as in they are installed, but the ports database needs to know they are there, you can have portmaster upgrade the datbase:

<code>
portmaster -y --check-depends
</code>

== Check ports database ==

This checks for any ports that the database says are installed, but are not.

<code>
portmaster -y --check-port-dbdir
</code>
