I feel a complete idiot now as this proves I was still using two
different systems next to each other (if it works don't break it) for
some years now.
Now created a cronned batch for ports only:
(1) Unattended (cron'd)
#!/bin/sh
cd /letc
portmaster --clean-distfiles --no-confirm
portsnap fetch update
portmaster -L
pkg version -l "<"
(2) Only manual/in interactive mode:
#!/bin/sh
cd /usr/local/etc
portmaster -y --clean-distfiles
portmaster -y --clean-packages
portmaster -y --check-depends
portmaster -a
Right?
Thanks all for you input - it really was an eye opener.
