According to:

  http://www.freebsd.org/news/2012-compromise.html

Cvsup is deprecated.  If I have a Cron entry like:

#-----------------------------------------------------------------
#Min   Hr    DOM   Mnth  DOW   Command

#   At 3:46 in the morning, everyday, as root, update the ports tree:
46     3     *     *     *     /usr/local/bin/cvsup   -h   cvsup12.FreeBSD.org  /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile 
#-----------------------------------------------------------------

What should I use: freebsd-update, Subversion, portsnap, or what?

What would be the best Cron command to keep ports updated on a daily
basis?

Thanks for any help you can provide.
