+The portupgrade package contains several useful programs that help
+with upgrading, installing, and comparing versions of software that
+has been installed via ports.
+
+	# cd /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade/
+	# make install && make clean
+%
+If you are updating your ports tree and have the portupgrade(1)
+utilities installed, run the following command to see what ports can
+be upgraded:
+
+	# portversion -v -L=
+%
+The portupgrade(1) utility (ports/sysutils/portupgrade) provides a
+safe and easy way for upgrading ports.
+
+	# portupgrade [portname]
+%
+The portsdb(1) command that comes with the portupgrade(1) suite of
+utilities (ports/sysutils/portupgrade) can be used to remake the ports
+master INDEX file.  Try adding the following line to your
+/etc/weekly.local file so that periodic(8) will rebuild the ports
+INDEX:
+
+/usr/bin/nice -20 /usr/local/sbin/portsdb -U -u
+%
+The pkgdb(1) command that comes with the portupgrade(1) suite of
+utilities (ports/sysutils/portupgrade) can be used to correct broken
+dependencies that can sometimes occur when upgrading ports with
+dependencies.  After upgrading several ports, it is probably a good
+idea to run the following command to fix port dependencies.
+
+	# pkgdb -F
+%
+Try combining portversion(1) with tee(1) and a periodic(8) job that
+follows after you update your ports tree.  Use tee(1) that way you get
+a list of ports that can be upgraded in your nightly email along with
+an updated copy on the file system.  portversion(1) is apart of the
+portupgrade port (ports/sysutils/portupgrade).  Ex: place the
+following after cvsup commands in /etc/weekly.local:
+
+/usr/local/sbin/portversion -O -v -L= | /usr/bin/tee /etc/upgradable_ports

    I've committed the spelling fixes (except for "colour" and
 "nationalisation", which are correct); someone else can decide
 if the portupgrade tips belong here.
