There are two "sources" to synchronize. The first is the OS, which I wouldn't recommend unless you're tracking -stable. The second is the ports tree, and it is very useful. If you track -stable, then you will be getting timely bug and security fixes. If you stick with -release, then cvsup isn't needed except to sync the ports tree (which is still a good thing). David
