What is bpkg? Is it a reliable tool that has been extensively tested and recommended by the ports developers? This port has been added on 24 June 2007... Now, the Handbook talk about: portupgrade, portmanager and bpkg, and I'm sure some will object we should talk about portmaster. According to what I see in /usr/ports/UPDATING we should only document both portupgrade and portmaster, then point people to ports/ports-mgmt/ if they want to experiment other tools. -- Marc
