Shouldn't there be some mention of: 1) CVS 2) Building the index (since 5.3 index file has been removed). 3) Installing ports

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)
