portsdb -uU error (I also need some tips)

[Fafa Diliha Romanova]

Hey!

I haven't tried fetchindex or portmanager.
I'll try them now.

As for the make.PORTS, I run them inside screen, so incase
I need to answer something, it won't continue untill I do.

But do you guys have a suggestion to how a more efficient
make.PORTS could look like? Now I'll include

cd /usr/ports && make fetchindex

into it but how about the order and amount of instances of
each command etc?

Thanks.
