Thank you Roland; I didn't know portsnap is part of the base install.
:-)
From a book that I have (Absolute FreeBSD - 2nd Edition), it says
PORTSNAP VS. CSUP
Use either portsnap(8) or csup(1) to update the Ports Collection
Where can I find the description of the /usr/ports/INDEX-8 file?

I was wondering about your update strategy. Do you update your apps as soon
as a new version is available in the ports ? Or do you follow the if it
works, don't touch it strategy ?
I'm guessing portupgrade is your preferred way of doing this hence, do you
also choose -P or -PP ?
I update

There is no one strategy that pleases everyone. You'll have to
consider the time required to perform updates

For servers, especially where I run critical apps, I follow the
bugs and announce lists (of the installed programs) to decide if
an update is required due to security reasons, then I update.
I find the VuXML FreeBSD RSS feed to be quite handy

That's my experience, too. When I was told that in order to get my
wireless device working I would need to upgrade to STABLE, I shuddered
with the fearful anticipation of using a development version of the
O/S. But it has lived up to the name STABLE.
Likewise with recently released ports

will explain what my goal is.
First though, I have verified that the /usr/ports/INDEX-8 file can be
gotten without the using cvs or cvsup.
fetch -m http://www.freebsd.org/ports/INDEX-8.bz2; does if fact work
and the data on the file is as of 3 hours ago. So that indicates its
being kept current
