So the tree shouldn't be out of date to any huge extent(should it?). Your ports-tree snapshot is 3 months old, way out of date - everything in the ports goes out of date very fast. > However, I tried cvsup ports-supfile and this failed because it could not > resolve local host (mine? my ISP's?). :-) (Yes I DID change the CHANGE > THIS section to point to an Australian mirror) You should use cvsup[1-12].freebsd.org for this. Make sure sure you've got cvsup-SNAP_16_1e or better. Easiest way to do is: # cvsup -L2 -h cvsup10.freebsd.org /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile If you have a problem with this, report the error (in full) back to the list.
