I assume this is because 1.2.0 is not in the RELEASE distribution. Freshports.org says 1.2.0 is the latest, but it doesn't tell me what distribution (RELEASE/STABLE/etc). How can I get the latest versions of things? I've asked this questions before, but the answers are just as cryptic as the problem (to me anyway). I've read several articles on cvsup and they all talk about things differently, and I'm not even sure this is what I need. Is there a way for me to just get Subversion 1.2.0 installed on my machine (I already have 1.1.4)? Is there a configuration to tell the ports to get and make STABLE versions instead of RELEASE? This is very confusing, and the last thing I need is to do something wrong and bring my whole machine down. That is why I am reluctant to follow the complex instructions around cvsup (if that is even what I need). Or can someone point me to some very clear instructions for cvsup, that doesn't make a assumptions about me already being a FreeBSD guru? Does cvsups fix my problem? Installing a -RELEASE version and then wanting the latest ports seems like a common desire, but it is not addressed very clearly. Thanks for any help. Ron
