I downloaded CVSUPIT to my /tmp folder then used the PKG_ADD <filename> to
install it.

I read through the handbook about how to make the supfile and refuse files
and placed them in /usr/local/etc/cvsup/

Now when I try to enter the command cvsup I get command not found.  Actually
I cannot find any file anywhere by this name.  I did however find the file
/usr/bin/cvs which requires parameters I do not understand and are not
covered in the cvs section of the handbook.

I did get the following command to work:
cvs -d /usr/local/etc/cvsup init
This created a CVDROOT folder with many files.  I still dont know how to
make this program update my ports.  Seems every port I have is so old it
cant even find the files to download since many new versions have been
released.

I am using 3.3-Stable
My supfile contains the following:
*default host=cvsup6.freebsd.org
*default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs delete use-rel-suffix compress
*default tag=RELENG_3
src-all

Any help is appreciated
