Hi CY,

Your best bet is to use 'portsnap'.
It is located in base and very simple to use.

man portsnap for more information

When you first use it you can follow these steps:

sudo portsnap fetch extract



sudo portsnap fetch update



portsnap cron update

Hope this helps,

Terry

Then at subsequent occasions when you want to upgrade your ports tree issue the following command: Alternatively it can be run daily via the system crontab with the following command:

signature.asc
