I wanted to bring my ports collection uptodate, so I ran "csup -L 2 /root/ports-supfile" and that updated my ports collection. At least, I hope so. Then I started googling and found that cvsup is not recommended. Better tot use portsnap (???) And also portupgrade was a no go. I should be using portmaster. Woh, I'm confused now. Question: what is best used to have an up2date ports collection nowadays? This system is FreeBSD8/amd64.
