New /bin/sh based script to manage ports

[Doug Barton]

Howdy,

I've been working on a new script to manage ports. I've put up a web page 
about it at http://people.freebsd.org/~dougb/portmaster.html

 From that page:

Does the world really need one more port management tool? Well I'm not sure 
about the world, but I do know that none of the existing options worked for 
me, for a variety of reasons. The two biggest being that I do not want to 
have to install yet another language, and I do not want the overhead of a 
database to manage the information about what ports I have installed, etc.

The goals I started with for this project were to use /bin/sh so that 
nothing else would have to be installed for it to work, and to make use of 
the existing data in /var/db/pkg. I now have something that meets those 
goals, and does everything I want it to do, so I'm interested in sharing it 
with the community.

More information, and a link to download the script are on the page.

Comments welcome,

Doug
