One other thing to note is that ports has no branches like src does, so if you cvsup your ports tree you're getting the latest ports as of that moment. For ports I put the following in /usr/ports/sup and then do cvsup /usr/ports/sup *default host=cvsup.FreeBSD.org *default base=/var/db *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs tag=. *default delete use-rel-suffix *default compress ports-all Similarly I use this for src: *default host=cvsup.FreeBSD.org *default base=/var/db *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_5 *default delete use-rel-suffix *default compress src-all make sure to change the "tag=" to match whatever branch you're interested in getting. -Glenn
