Date: Thu, 10 Jan 2013 08:55:50 -0700 (MST) From: Warren Block <wblock@wonkity.com> Given the upcoming cvs deprecation in a little over a month, how about putting a reminder in /usr/ports/UPDATING now? Mention that cvs mirrors will be going away and point to the portsnap and svn update methods shown in the Handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports-using.html I probably missed something. Usually I do a minimal install, then pull the ports tree via csup, then install subversion, etc. If neither csup nor subversion are in base, then how do I get the ports tree in the first instance, if I forgot or intentionally didn't install ports as part of bsdinstall? Thanks Anton
