About

portzap is a utility that manages a local copy of the HardenedBSD ports tree. The copy of the ports tree is maintained by members of the _portzap group, and the copy of the ports tree can be installed into /usr/ports/ by root.

Examples

CLI: setup-portzap

This command should be run after installing portzap for the first time:

# Add the '_portzap' user, group and home directory
# This command requires root privileges
root@localhost# setup-portzap

CLI: portzap

# Clone the HardenedBSD ports tree into /home/_portzap/ports/
# This command is delegated to the '_portzap' user
user@localhost$ portzap clone

# Pull updates into /home/_portzap/ports/
# This command is delegated to the '_portzap' user
user@localhost$ portzap pull

# Checkout a branch other than the default: hardenedbsd/main
# This command is delegated to the '_portzap' user
user@localhost$ portzap checkout freebsd/main

# Install /home/_portzap/ports/ into /usr/ports/
# This command requires root privileges
root@localhost# portzap install

# Remove the contents of /usr/ports/ and /home/_portzap/ports/
# This command requires root privileges
root@localhost# portzap rm

Environment

• $PORTZAP_CLONEURL
  The URL of a git repository
  Default: https://git.HardenedBSD.org/HardenedBSD/ports.git

• $PORTZAP_INSTALLDIR
  The directory where the ports collection will be installed

Port

portzap is available as a HardenedBSD port.
pkg install portzap should work too but expect slower updates.
