If your system is configured to use csup (or cvsup) to update your ports tree to the latest (ports-all tag=.), then you can fetch a pre-built index with "make fetchindex". portsnap(8) updates the INDEX as well as the ports tree by default and might be a better solution for you. The Handbook article on portsnap includes details on running portsnap from cron: <http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/portsnap.html>; -- John Marshall
