portsnap - a better cvsup
There's a new cat in the forest when it comes to keeping your /usr/ports tree updated - portsnap. It does it a little better than trust old cvsup.
Good discussion about it here on the PC-BSD forums:
portsnap instead of cvsupA short discussion about portsnap and why it is better than cvsup:
FreeBSD PortsnapAnd, of course, the FreeBSD.org doc page about it:

Track with co.mments Is portsnap available to versions prior to 6? I'm using 5.4 myself at the moment with no real inclination to upgrade.
