-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: RIPEMD160 Howdy! I'm very excited to announce that what I hope to be the final version of the new portmaster with package support is now available for testing. I've done quite a bit of regression testing myself, but the last time I posted about the beta version several people were kind enough to give it a go and I got several really good suggestions. It would be really great if more users could give this version a try before I commit it to the actual port. You can find the information on accessing the svn version at http://dougbarton.us/portmaster-proposal.html A more-or-less complete list of the new features: - -P|--packages, -PP|--packages-only Basically like the portupgrade features to try downloading a package first then build it if no package is available, or use only packages. - --packages-build For packages that are ONLY listed as build dependencies for the ports being updated in this run, download packages if available. - --delete-build-only For packages/ports that are ONLY listed as build dependencies for the ports being updated in this run, delete them when the run is over. - --packages-if-newer This is a modifier to -P|-PP. Use the package if newer than what's installed (or the same as what's installed with -f) even if it's not the most recent version according to the ports tree. - --always-fetch If we are using packages download a new one even if there is an up-to-date version already on the local file system.
