    I am not sure if I quite understand this entire ports updating scenario
    correctly. I I run the command: 'cvsup ports-supfile', I then need to
    run either 'portsdb -Uu' or 'make index'. I also have the option of
    running 'make fetchindex' in place of either of those two proceeding
    commands. Is that correct?

    I would assume, that I should run the 'make fetchindex' command
    immediately after running the 'cvsup' command.

    Does anyone have any suggestions as to a better way to accomplish this
    feat?

    Thanks!
