Thank you for the quick response.
I have tried the portupgrade way, but unfortunately
the packages lag behind ports the majority of the
time. This led me to think that keeping the ports tree
a little behind HEAD would be a better solution.
However, I don't know how to get a hold of this "lag
time." Is it a few days, a few weeks or ... ?
Perhaps there is a better way?
