I am using portsnap fetch portsnap update to sync my ports tree on FreeBSd 6.1...it seems it maintains an index when I run update. I am used to using: portsversion and portsupdate to upgrade ports...in this method I have also used portsdb -Uu to rebuild an index anytime prior to running these commands...yes portsdb takes a while and I've always wondered if this is necessary prior to running any of these commands.. So my question is: Is the index being maintained by portsnap the same or a replacement to that used by portupgrade? Do I have to maintain both sets of indexes in order to use portsupdate?? What do other people do? thanks, ke han
