Hi to everyone !
I'm sure that this is a trivial question to ask . I'm considering source and 
ports tree upgarde from 5.2_REL to 5.2.1_REL . I've never did cvs before
(usually i back up , format + binary install and restore ) . I've read the 
article from the handbook and everything is pretty much explained there . My 
question is when i install the new distro how should i upgrade the ports tree 
after syncing it from cvs ? Are there any guidelines , tips or tricks ? I've 
heard about portupgrade port . Is this the right tool for bringing my ports 
up to date ? Your help will be greatly appreciated and I hope will save me 
hours of hesitation and headache :-)
Thanks
Excuse my english
