Hi,

is it possible to do a real preview with portupgrade? I want to see all
ports that would be installed/upgraded when installing a particular port.
The --noexecute option doesn't really show me a lot. How would this be done
with packages? pkg_add would have to download all packges first to be able
to calculate all dependencies, or can it operate on an index file?

Hello !

Take a look at the 'ports' manpage and you will find a mean on how to get useful information on the ports collection (configuring building discover dependencies etc..) :

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ports&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+8.0-RELEASE&format=html

Examples

*     fetch-list
                Show list of files to be fetched in order to build the port.

*     run-depends-list, build-depends-list
Print a list of all the compile and run dependencies, and dependencies of those dependencies, by port directory.

etc...
