Is there a way to determine exactly what a particular port will install on my machine?
Doing a `make pretty-print-run-depends-list` will show me all of its requirements... but I am interested in the difference between its requirements and what I already have on my machine. If I have 7 out of the 10 requirements.... I would like the remaining 3 listed for me.
Is there something in place which provides this?
The "portupgrade" port can do this. Something like...
portupgrade -n -Rr someport
The -n tells it not to do anything, just show you what it would do.
The -r and -R tell it to upgrade any dependencies in both directions.
At the end it will print out a little summary of what ports it needs to upgrade, what needs installed, and what you've already got.
