You figured out the right one. I frequently mix the 2 up but only one 
has the -uU option :). I use make index instead of portsdb -u but 
portsdb now uses make index to build INDEX[-5]. So my way isn't 
different any more.

I also forgot to add that I use a cronjob to do the cvsup but I do it 
twice a day.
