I've been using both commands, just to live on the safe side, and will continue doing that.

Question about portsdb -uU
Hi everybody. I have a question about portsdb -uU After a ports cvsup, does it replace the command make index in /usr/ports ? Or do you recommend to use both ? Someone told me portsdb -uU is a lot faster, but it don't seem to be that on my computers. -- Best Regards Hasse. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
