I prefer portsnap to cvsup for updating the ports system. After the initial run of the program it runs, IMHO, faster and is more secure. In addition, you do not have to build an index after it finishes. Portmanager and portupgrade both strive to accomplish, to a degree, somewhat similar goals. There are things that portupgrade can do that portmanager cannot. However, again IMHO, for keeping your system up-to-date, I find portmanager to be somewhat more suitable. Try them all. Find out what you like best. The only cravat is if you use cvsup, which you have and then run portsnap, if you again run cvsup you will have to start from scratch with postsnap again. Not the worst thing in the world though. --=20 Gerard Seibert gerard@seibercom.net --===[S/MIME_RFC2633]===44EDE283.2F3D4DC=== Content-Type: application/x-pkcs7-signature; name="smime.p7s" Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="smime.p7s" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 MIIKEAYJKoZIhvcNAQcCoIIKATCCCf0CAQExCzAJBgUrDgMCGgUAMAsGCSqGSIb3DQEHAaCCCMkw ggJRMIIBuqADAgECAgMPeOEwDQYJKoZIhvcNAQEEBQAwYjELMAkGA1UEBhMCWkExJTAjBgNVBAoT HFRoYXd0ZSBDb25zdWx0aW5nIChQdHkpIEx0ZC4xLDAqBgNVBAMTI1RoYXd0ZSBQZXJzb25hbCBG cmVlbWFpbCBJc3N1aW5nIENBMB4XDTA1MDkxMzE2MDUwNloXDTA2MDkxMzE2MDUwNlowRjEfMB0G A1UEAxMWVGhhd3RlIEZyZWVtYWlsIE1lbWJlcjEjMCEGCSqGSIb3DQEJARYUZ2VyYXJkQHNlaWJl cmNvbS5uZXQwgZ8wDQYJKoZIhvcNAQEBBQADgY0AMIGJAoGBAKNoN++UfUt9hlNLErk3m6fIzCDF wmFEnhlh4uU2kdmL/wOGOonGTwGYBB7GaILJxkLS7o2IxKl2qnBUCqVP7uJ94UkHcyP2C7WT0fR1 /PaOu+NX77DZiWu+7MLCL8j4MmkUVsGdgLZA9aLl2fZJg/MRn4F+aycFbjzcIUK7BcXvAgMBAAGj MTAvMB8GA1UdEQQYMBaBFGdlcmFyZEBzZWliZXJjb20ubmV0MAwGA1UdEwEB/wQCMAAwDQYJKoZI hvcNAQEEBQADgYEAKgPoe+N+nikyTgE9D6rLBygf25pks09Nm61lNFCayERnUG/wF+V40/msujKE MNTJBRt3jcIeLrFKYZLvntbPqS3ecusRBqmNwY75pnz6fdWW/oZUy8CMAZjn2nFz0WizIt+AyOm4 iP4yoCBCS3KiyDP1embBJlKuhy6gc+Gr/9swggMtMIIClqADAgECAgEAMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBBAUA MIHRMQswCQYDVQQGEwJaQTEVMBMGA1UECBMMV2VzdGVybiBDYXBlMRIwEAYDVQQHEwlDYXBlIFRv d24xGjAYBgNVBAoTEVRoYXd0ZSBDb25zdWx0aW5nMSgwJgYDVQQLEx9DZXJ0aWZpY2F0aW9uIFNl cnZpY2VzIERpdmlzaW9uMSQwIgYDVQQDExtUaGF3dGUgUGVyc29uYWwgRnJlZW1haWwgQ0ExKzAp BgkqhkiG9w0BCQEWHHBlcnNvbmFsLWZyZWVtYWlsQHRoYXd0ZS5jb20wHhcNOTYwMTAxMDAwMDAw WhcNMjAxMjMxMjM1OTU5WjCB0TELMAkGA1UEBhMCWkExFTATBgNVBAgTDFdlc3Rlcm4gQ2FwZTES MBAGA1UEBxMJQ2FwZSBUb3duMRowGAYDVQQKExFUaGF3dGUgQ29uc3VsdGluZzEoMCYGA1UECxMf Q2VydGlmaWNhdGlvbiBTZXJ2aWNlcyBEaXZpc2lvbjEkMCIGA1UEAxMbVGhhd3RlIFBlcnNvbmFs IEZyZWVtYWlsIENBMSswKQYJKoZIhvcNAQkBFhxwZXJzb25hbC1mcmVlbWFpbEB0aGF3dGUuY29t MIGfMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBAQUAA4GNADCBiQKBgQDUadfUsJRkW3HpR9gMUbbqcpGwhF59LQ2PexLf hSV1KHQ6QixjJ5+Ve0vvfhmHHYbqo925zpZkGsIUbkSsfOaP6E0PcR9AOKYAo4d49vmUhl6t6sBe duvZFKNdbnp8DKVLVX8GGSl/npom1Wq7OCQIapjHsdqjmJH9edvlWsQcuQIDAQABoxMwETAPBgNV HRMBAf8EBTADAQH/MA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBBAUAA4GBAMfskn5O+PWWpWdiKqTwTRFg0G+NYFhhrCa7 UjVcCM8w+6hKloofYkIjjBcP9LpknBesRynfnZhe0mxgcVyirNx54+duAEcftQ0o6AKd5Jr9E/Sm 2Xyx+NxfIyYJkYBz0BQb3kOpgyXy5pwvFcr+pquKB3WLDN1RhGvk+NHOd6KBMIIDPzCCAqigAwIB AgIBDTANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQUFADCB0TELMAkGA1UEBhMCWkExFTATBgNVBAgTDFdlc3Rlcm4gQ2Fw ZTESMBAGA1UEBxMJQ2FwZSBUb3duMRowGAYDVQQKExFUaGF3dGUgQ29uc3VsdGluZzEoMCYGA1UE CxMfQ2VydGlmaWNhdGlvbiBTZXJ2aWNlcyBEaXZpc2lvbjEkMCIGA1UEAxMbVGhhd3RlIFBlcnNv bmFsIEZyZWVtYWlsIENBMSswKQYJKoZIhvcNAQkBFhxwZXJzb25hbC1mcmVlbWFpbEB0aGF3dGUu Y29tMB4XDTAzMDcxNzAwMDAwMFoXDTEzMDcxNjIzNTk1OVowYjELMAkGA1UEBhMCWkExJTAjBgNV BAoTHFRoYXd0ZSBDb25zdWx0aW5nIChQdHkpIEx0ZC4xLDAqBgNVBAMTI1RoYXd0ZSBQZXJzb25h bCBGcmVlbWFpbCBJc3N1aW5nIENBMIGfMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBAQUAA4GNADCBiQKBgQDEpjxVc1X7 TrnKmVoeaMB1BHCd3+n/ox7svc31W/Iadr1/DDph8r9RzgHU5VAKMNcCY1osiRVwjt3J8CuFWqo/ cVbLrzwLB+fxH5E2JCoTzyvV84J3PQO+K/67GD4Hv0CAAmTXp6a7n2XRxSpUhQ9IBH+nttE8YQRA HmQZcmC3+wIDAQABo4GUMIGRMBIGA1UdEwEB/wQIMAYBAf8CAQAwQwYDVR0fBDwwOjA4oDagNIYy aHR0cDovL2NybC50aGF3dGUuY29tL1RoYXd0ZVBlcnNvbmFsRnJlZW1haWxDQS5jcmwwCwYDVR0P BAQDAgEGMCkGA1UdEQQiMCCkHjAcMRowGAYDVQQDExFQcml2YXRlTGFiZWwyLTEzODANBgkqhkiG 9w0BAQUFAAOBgQBIjNFQg+oLLswNo2asZw9/r6y+whehQ5aUnX9MIbj4Nh+qLZ82L8D0HFAgk3A8 /a3hYWLD2ToZfoSxmRsAxRoLgnSeJVCUYsfbJ3FXJY3dqZw5jowgT2Vfldr394fWxghOrvbqNOUQ Gls1TXfjViF4gtwhGTXeJLHTHUb/XV9lTzGCAQ8wggELAgEBMGkwYjELMAkGA1UEBhMCWkExJTAj BgNVBAoTHFRoYXd0ZSBDb25zdWx0aW5nIChQdHkpIEx0ZC4xLDAqBgNVBAMTI1RoYXd0ZSBQZXJz b25hbCBGcmVlbWFpbCBJc3N1aW5nIENBAgMPeOEwCQYFKw4DAhoFADANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAASB gJZsTDTLl01ipOodO1MF5nskZ8vwSBqfn586r2C17H1w5leWDQ5S6hfhBxP/Bx+nAyNx7hflvf3b Q6QdQhJj5HyyN4tM6p2uQn30ftub4QtOfKdVypY+DnV9ZVHBJ787uvLLTsBYXrFozTauAkY1gBov z0I9+GI1CE4lzA+OBcYf --===[S/MIME_RFC2633]===44EDE283.2F3D4DC===--
