This script runs though the complete ports tree without stopping after a make error occurred. If you call make with any parameter in one of the directories of the ports tree in FreeBSD the run will stop if make returns with a code bigger than zero. That means, that it is (in opposite to NetBSD or OpenBSD impossible to run a echo complete build with \"make\" in FreeBSD. Warning: The run of the script may last days (but you may stop it any time). Call the script with the parameter you want to give to make, for instance fetch, build, install, or package. -Andreas Fehlner fehlner@gmx.de

Mkreadmes is designed to be a very fast, flexible and easy-to-use alternative to the standard "make readmes" for building the README.html files for the FreeBSD Ports Collection, building the files in a fraction of the time of the standard method.

(runs much faster) portsclean: Cleans ports workdir's, unreferenced distfiles, old and orphan shared libraries, and stale packages. portsdb: Creates binary database from the ports INDEX. ports_glob: Expands ports globs. pkg_deinstall: Wraps pkg_delete(1) and provides additional features. pkg_fetch: Fetches packages from a remote site. pkg_glob: Expands package globs. pkg_which: Checks which package a file came from quickly. pkgdb: Manages and searches the package database. pkgdu: Display a disk usage for installed packages.
