After getting 2.2-RELEASE installed via ftp, I ran cvsup to pick up any recent changes. The supfile is: *default host=cvsup.FreeBSD.org *default base=/usr *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_2_2 *default delete use-rel-suffix *default compress src-all cvs-crypto ports-all The src-all and cvs-crypto updates gave the expected results, but the ports-all update replaced everything in /usr/ports with CVS files! Is this right? This is the fist time I've cvsup'd ports-all, and I was expecting the files to be updated, not morphed into something else altogether. If this *is* right, how would I use it? Of course, I still can use sysinstall to install ports via ftp, but I prefer the 'make install' method. Should I simply ftp the entire ports dir to reconstruct things, or is there a better way? Thanks, Steve
