I'm running 5.3 RELEASE and trying to learn. I did a ports cvsup. 
Following the Dru Lavigne article on portupgrade at 
http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2003/08/28/FreeBSD_Basics.html?page=1
I installed portupgrade and then ran portsdb -Uu. It errored out, 
telling me that I shouldn't use my "refuse" file that stopped the non-
english docs and ports from being loaded on my HD.

In trying to understand this issue, I found portmanager, and it looks 
like it would perform the same function as portupgrade. 

My questions: Is there a way around the "refuse" file prohibition, 
perhaps with portmanager? Does portmanager replace portupgrade?
