From `man ports` -

"BUGS
	Ports documentation is split over four places --- /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk, the ``Ports Collection'' section of the handbook, the ``Porting Existing Software'' section of the handbook, and ports(7).
	This man page is too long."

CORRECTION
	Not long enough!

I was looking for something that ties together cvsup and portupgrade and
pkg_add and so forth.  Oh well, I'll read them all some more individually.

"FreeBSD 4.5                    January 25, 1998                    FreeBSD 4.5"

Always wondered why manpages have such old dates at the bottom; Are these
the dates the command first appeared?  Shouldn't it be the last time the
manpage you are reading was updated with new information??
