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.

CLI

CLI: setup

portzap setup 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# portzap setup

# Reverse the changes made by 'portzap setup'
# This command requires root privileges
root@localhost# portzap teardown

CLI: group

The following commands are delegated to the _portzap user and restricted to members of the _portzap group:

• portzap clone
  Clone the HardenedBSD ports tree into /home/_portzap/ports/
  

• portzap pull
  Pull updates into /home/_portzap/ports/
  

• portzap checkout
  Checkout a branch other than the default: hardenedbsd/main
  

• portzap sh
  Run /bin/sh within /home/_portzap/ports/
  

CLI: superuser

The following commands are restricted to root:

• portzap rm
  Remove the contents of /usr/ports/ and /home/_portzap/ports/
  

• portzap install
  Install /home/_portzap/ports/ into /usr/ports/
  

Environment

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

• $PORTZAP_INSTALLDIR
  The directory where the ports collection will be installed
  Default: /usr/ports/

Install

portzap is available from the HardenedBSD ports tree. pkg install portzap should work too but expect slower updates. After installation of portzap, portzap setup should be run as root and one or more users should be added to the _portzap group:

root@localhost# portzap setup
root@localhost# pw groupmod -n _portzap -m myuser
