I'm having a go at using portsnap on my fbsd 5.4 notebook  instead of 
cvsup to update the ports. With the latter under the /usr/ports dir I 
issue "make update" and "portsdb -uU" and finally "portupgrade -arR".
Now, using portsnap it seems to me that after "update" the program 
itself refreshes the db. In fact if I issue "portversion -l "<" " a 
list of upgradable packages pops up. Therefore I'm concluding that 
after portsnap fetch, update, there's no  need for a "portsdb -uU".
Am 
I right or missing something (which is actually my feeling!)?
Ciao
Vittorio
