A build system with amazingly fast incremental build cycle
Tup is a file-based build system - it inputs a list of file changes and a directed acyclic graph (DAG), then processes the DAG to execute the appropriate commands required to update dependent files. The DAG is stored in an SQLite database. By providing the file change log up front and storing the dependencies in an efficient database structure, updates can be performed with very little overhead.

To install tup, run the following command in macOS terminal (Applications->Utilities->Terminal)
sudo port install tup
To see what files were installed by tup, run:
port contents tup
To later upgrade tup, run:
sudo port selfupdate && sudo port upgrade tup
Reporting an issue on MacPorts Trac
The MacPorts Project uses a system called Trac to file tickets to report bugs and enhancement requests.
Though anyone may search Trac for tickets, you must have a GitHub account in order to login to Trac to create tickets.
