Hey! I haven't tried fetchindex or portmanager. I'll try them now.
As for the make.PORTS, I run them inside screen, so incase I need to answer something, it won't continue untill I do. But do you guys have a suggestion to how a more efficient make.PORTS could look like? Now I'll include cd /usr/ports && make fetchindex into it but how about the order and amount of instances of each command etc?
