This makes it easy to use the +ports system without having a full and up-to-date /usr/ports tree. -SYNOPSIS - portcheckout ports [...] - -DESCRIPTION - Portcheckout(1) checks out a FreeBSD port and all runtime and buildtime - depending ports into the current working directory. The output is - written to stdout as an executable shell-script. - - Compiling a FreeBSD usually require a full tree of ports in /usr/port. A - cvs checkout or a cvs update command takes a very long time and need - much free space. - - With portcheckout, you checkout only the parts of the port tree which - you really need. This is a magnitude faster! - -FILES - Portcheckout depend on a an up to date INDEX file in /usr/ports/INDEX. - -EXAMPLE - $ portcheckout gnuplot - - cd /tmp || exit 1 - PORTSDIR="/tmp/ports"; export PORTSDIR - - # checkout ports - # gnuplot-340 - cvs co ports/math/gnuplot - - # checkout depencies - # png-1.0.2 - cvs co ports/graphics/png - # gd-1.3 - cvs co ports/graphics/gd - - # Compile and install gnuplot-340 - (cd ports/math/gnuplot && make all install clean) - -AUTHOR - Wolfram Schneider <wosch@FreeBSD.org>, Berlin, September 1998. +A typical use would be to connect to the Internet, possibly download +a new INDEX and ports upgrade kit, download a port skeleton with +portcheckout(1), and then build the port. |
