Sync ports tree

csup ports-supfile

Update INDEXes

portsdb -Uu
pkgdb -u

Get a list of out-of-date ports

pkg_version -vl '<' | cut -d' ' -f1

Pull dependency information for each out-of-date port (Children must be rebuilt/reinstalled as well)

pkg_info -Rq

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.:

A
-B
-C
--D
E
-B
-D
=becomes=
A
E
B
C
D

BASH script is at 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

makepkg() {
 make all deinstall install package clean
 mv -v *.tbz ~/packages/
}
