port management practices

It's my philosophy, that a little each day, is better than lots, once in 
a while.
Cron updates my ports tree every night and does a "portupgrade -a"  
after that.
The output is saved to a file, so I can deal with problems.
I do a "buildworld/buildkernel" every week, if there are changes in the 
source.
Nothing  has ever been older than a few days.
I don't see why my box should be bored while I'm asleep.
It's always on, anyway.
