and keep them up to date. It is written in /bin/sh so it has no dependencies.

- * User can specify the port to upgrade (or install) either by directory
- in /usr/ports, or by directory in /var/db/pkg
* Updates and repairs (as needed) entries for dependencies in both +CONTENTS
and +REQUIRED_BY files for both the port that is being updated, and any
ports that depend on it
* Runs make config recursively through all ports before starting build
+ * Downloads distfiles in the background
* Recursively checks and upgrades (or installs) all dependencies
* User can force upgrades of all dependent ports
* Offers the user the opportunity to delete stale distfiles
- * Supports /usr/ports/MOVED
