I'm having a go at using portsnap on my fbsd 5.4 notebook instead of cvsup to update the ports. With the latter under the /usr/ports dir I issue "make update" and "portsdb -uU" and finally "portupgrade -arR". Now, using portsnap it seems to me that after "update" the program itself refreshes the db. In fact if I issue "portversion -l "<" " a list of upgradable packages pops up. Therefore I'm concluding that after portsnap fetch, update, there's no need for a "portsdb -uU". Am I right or missing something (which is actually my feeling!)? Ciao Vittorio
