We also use CVS (not cvsup/csup) after installing a fresh system. We mirror the CVS repo on an internal machine, then use CVS to checkout the latest HEAD or -stable from the internal mirror. The checkout from the internal mirror is much faster than trying to do it over our internet link (and that doesn't always work - we may not even be connected to the internet at times). Note that no ports are needed to update a system in this scenario. Also note that I can checkout any branch or from any known good date where the system builds and works. I would love to mirror the SVN repo in the same way and have an 'svn' in base, or at least something that could replace CVS in the above scenario. -- DE
