Kiffin, In my opinion, there is no. If you need an upgrade, go for it, if not, why portupgrade? You don't need to follow each little jump of version. > > I figure that once a week should be sufficient, however each time it runs > it can take up to a few hours to complete which seems like an unnecessary > hassle to me.

You are off better of having a fast machine to create your packages yourselves, which you then distribute to slower machines. Mine is a PIII/1,13 I run portupgrade between once a week and once a month. Compiling time (I use KDE) is usually done within one night. The last gnomeupdate.sh wasn't funny. That infact took the machine days to rebuild all the ports. Hope that helps a little. Ben > > Is this worthwhile?
