            Bug ID: 217919
           Summary: Handbook: 23.2.3.2 expects 'portmaster' to be
                    installed.
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---

Handbook section 23.2.3.2, Upgrading Packages After a Major Version Upgrade,
tells the user to use the following command to upgrade ports after a major
install, with no alternative given:
portmaster -af

On my 11.0-RELEASE-p8 installation, a fresh install with just a few packages
added, portmaster doesn't exist. Should some portsnap command be there instead?
portsnap is installed, and section 4.5 repeatedly gives examples of portsnap
usage.

Section 23.2.3.2 is on this page:
