	Guys,

	Anybody have an automatic (/etc/crontab) method of keeping 
	ports current?  I'm almost done upgrading my 5 systems to
	6.2  (to be able to grab valid packages) and tried portupgrade
	with several variants of flags/switches.  portuprade with 
	-rpfP wound up  recycling my packages most of the time.  [?]
	I've starting to think that there may be no way of doing this
	automatically.  portmanager -b -u -l may be better:: dunno.

	thanks for some insights here,

	gary
