It's possible to update base later, without using "selfupdate".
Yes I'm now convinced of the utility of sync due to the points made by Keith and yourself. And cross-platform issues regarding selfupdate is something I hadn't considered. I'll accomodate that in the docs when I add the writeup for "port sync" to keep it is general as possible. Thanks. Mark
