| There are lots of nifty tools in ports for handling ports and packages.
| It would be nice if they were all in one, easy to find place.
| 
| I think there are enough of these kind of ports to warrant a new
| category. What does everyone think about this?
| 
| I'm not sure on a name yet -- "freebsd", "ports", "tools", and
| "portutils" are my initial ideas.

I like the proposed ports-mgmt and portutils.

| Possible candidates for the new category:
| 
| devel/portcheckout
  [ ... ]
| sysutils/portupgrade
| 
| Plus maybe (not ports-specific, so perhaps not):
| 
| net/csup
| net/cvsup
| net/cvsup-mirror
| net/cvsup-without-gui
| 
| Have I missed any?
|
+----]

sysutils/newportsversioncheck

My vote goes for implementation of this new category.
