I cannot understand the whole picture. > My question is: how can i "import" a *single* port ? Common practice is to cvsup most of the ports tree. The example cvsup documents how to exclude subdirectories of ports you're not going to use (for example, all ports of a different language). If you just want to import a single port, you could either refine your cvsup file so as to only grab that port, or you could browse the CVS repository via the web and grab the appropriate files to place in your ports tree. You should, however, probably just cvsup your ports tree. The example cvsup file is your friend, as is the Handbook section on CVSup. > 3.
