I am still not sure that I understand this entire ports concept. I,
like others I would assume, have found the time that 'portsdb -Uu'
takes to run to completion unacceptable. Would I be correct in assuming
that I could therefore use the following combination of commands and
attain the same results?
1) cvsup ports-supfile
2) make fetchindex
3) pkgdb -Fu
4) portupgrade -aDDPRruv
I am not clear about this. I have always run the 'portsdb -Uu' command
after the 'pkgdb -Fu' program.
Thanks!
