I call cvsup from crontab, with a line like this:
0 8 * * * root cvsup -g -L 2 /usr/local/etc/cvsup/ports-supfile \
| mail -s "epsilon.lucida.qc.ca: ports update output" admin
(formatted so it would read right in email)
The output from cvsup only shows what it's changed, so it's very handy for
tracking what's new, you get it in your e-mail once per day.
