Thanks for the recommendation.  Always glad to hear that people a making
use of my code.

Actually, nowadays you don't need to save the output of portsnap or
cvsup or whatever, and use '-f plain,options' to parse that. The changes
in version 2.8 mean portindex can detect when the timestamp on any ports
Makefile or pkg-descr file or the options saved in /var/db/ports has
changed, and determine what ports it needs to recheck from that, so it's
completely independent of the mechanism[*] used to update the tree.
This doesn't really take significantly more or less time than the old
'parse the logfile' approach -- all those make invocations are the slow
step.

Just run 'cache-update' without arguments.
