[edit] just btw...
you have duplicated effort:

Shouldn't there be some mention of: 1) CVS 2) Building the index (since 5.3 index file has been removed). 3) Installing ports
[edit] yeah, it should be more cohesive
there are entries for cvsup, portupgrade and some troubleshooting ports stuff, but yeah...really should clean up the ports section so that it's not like 5 different articles. --Dave 09:44, 21 Nov 2005 (EST)

another way to upgrade ports i've not seen hardly ever
1... check freshports.org (is one of my ports new)
2... csup -g -L 2 -i ports/DEVEL/p5-SOMETHING (CATEGORY,PORT lowercase of course) supfile.SOMETHING in my case I have multiple supfiles there , say, supfile._1 supfile._2 for alternate attempts
( in this instance the supfile is in /usr/ports and is for ports not other stuff)
if that command completes, its much quicker than a full c(v)sup
3... change to the subdir and upgrade. (I can use wget with --limit-rate=2k or 3k in a seperate tty and on dialup, and still have enough bandwidth for browsing etc, the result must be copied to the final destination also)
