ports [-u|-l|-d]
DESCRIPTION
ports manages the ports collection on CRUX Linux. The ports tree contains build recipes (Pkgfiles) for software packages. This tool synchronizes the local ports tree with remote repositories.The differences option helps identify packages that need updating or are installed from outside the ports system.
PARAMETERS
-u
Update the ports tree from configured sources-l
List all ports in the current tree-d
Show differences between installed packages and ports
CAVEATS
CRUX-specific tool. Requires network access for updates. Driver configuration files are in `/etc/ports/`. Does not build or install packages directly; use prt-get or pkgmk for that.
HISTORY
ports is part of the CRUX Linux package management system. CRUX uses a ports-based system inspired by BSD, where package recipes are downloaded and built locally.
