But I am having problems with cache-update. I include the last paragraphs of my original post with the typo corrected: for upating the portstree I do: # cvsup -g -L 2 ports-supfile # cache-update # portindex -o /usr/ports/INDEX-5 (I am using 5-stable) # portsdb -u (I am also using portupgrade) # portupgrade -arR (or whatever) The problem I have is now that cache-update seems to hang: When I start it there is activity for some seconds (as seen in top), but no output at all, then silence, but the command promt does not come back. From a different terminal I get this (not wrapped): ~%ps aux | grep cache-update root 58657 6.3 2.6 8052 6684 p1 I+ 9:50AM 0:08.27 cache-update (perl) Since cache-update seems to be idle I used to ctrl-C cache-update and then proceed, so far without getting into trouble. Is this expected behaviour or am I doing something wrong here? Christopher
