The subject line is a rip-off of Doug Barton's. :) When I saw his message in the archives, I decided to announce my contribution. There can never be enough tools to manage ports. :) I started writing this tool in 2003 when Perl was still in the base. It is called Port Manager[1] (one of a few called this), pm.pl specifically. It is comparable to portupgrade with a few exceptions as listed on the web page. Build error recovery is a big feature. Although it is not well documented, 'pm.pl -nva' should show what would be done to update a system without actually doing it. Obviously, -h will provide you with help. A .pmrc can be used for options specific to ports and to hold from updating ports. Globals for all ports go into /etc/make.conf. I just need to document the .pmrc file.
