Hello Even I use portmaster (a very good piece of software), it becomes very slow when you have 1550 ports installed in your system.
As only a few ports (about 100, in my case) changes in a week time, I build a database (postgres) that contains all the ports installed, de depencies and a flag that tells me if that port needs updating (pkg_version) a shell script scans the ports (pkg_info | cut -d ' ' -f 1) and builds the database once a week (can take several hours... Once the database is built, an sql query (only ms...) tells me what to do... it then executes pkg_delete, cd /usr/ports/..., make clean all package.. and after doing all the job, it updates the postgresql database (seconds... ). In my case I use a central server with all the 1550 ports... and all I do is to install them on the slaves, (again, using the postgres database data)... Hope this can give someone some ideas....
