Sync ports tree
<code brush=bash>
csup ports-supfile
</code>

Update INDEXes
<code brush=bash>
portsdb -Uu
pkgdb -u
</code>

Get a list of out-of-date ports
<code brush=bash>
pkg_version -vl '<' | cut -d' ' -f1
</code>

Pull dependency information for each out-of-date port (Children must be rebuilt/reinstalled as well)
<code brush=bash>
pkg_info -Rq
</code>

Do this recursively, keeping track of the depth. Once you hit bottom on all the ports and their descendants, squash the depgraph, placing deeper dependencies later. I.e.:
<code>
A
-B
-C
--D
E
-B
-D
=becomes=
A
E
B
C
D
==
</code>

BASH script is at [CheckPorts.sh|KnowledgeBase/FreeBSD/CheckPorts.sh]

Once you have a list of ports to install, and their order, you can use a convenience function in sh to build a package
<code brush=bash>
makepkg() {
 rm *.tbz
 make all deinstall install package clean && mv -v *.tbz /build/pkg/
}
