Hi,

I just tried to "sup -v ports-supfile" and found 2 problems.

 1: the process created "/usr/ports/ports/...", NOT "/usr/ports/..."

The supfile looks right:

ports-all release=current host=SUP.FreeBSD.ORG hostbase=/home base=/usr 
prefix=/
usr/ports delete old use-rel-suffix

But got stuff like:

SUP Created directory ports/devel/xxgdb/pkg for ports/devel/xxgdb/pkg/COMMENT
SUP Receiving file ports/devel/xxgdb/pkg/COMMENT
...

% ls /usr/ports
293 % ls -alt /usr/ports
total 3
drwxr-xr-x  10 smp   circle  512 Aug 21 21:23 ports
drwxr-xr-x   6 smp   circle  512 Aug 21 21:14 .
drwxr-xr-x  20 root  wheel   512 Jul 31 15:14 ..

"/usr/ports" already existed.


 2: the process tried  to suck down distfiles, although
"ports-supfile" claims it wont do distfiles:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
# There are two ways to sup the latest ports.  One is to use the individual
# collections, and the other is to use the "ports-all" mega-collection,
# which includes everything except ports-distfile.

# ports-all and distfiles.  Note that the distfiles collection is HUGE,
# you will need a big disk and a good network connection to keep up.

#ports-distfiles release=current host=SUP.FreeBSD.ORG hostbase=/home base=/usr 
p
refix=/usr/ports delete old use-rel-suffix

ports-all release=current host=SUP.FreeBSD.ORG hostbase=/home base=/usr 
prefix=/
usr/ports delete old use-rel-suffix
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-

As you can see, I left ports-distfiles commented out, but got:

SUP Created directory ports/distfiles for ports/distfiles/1.0.37-1.0.38.gz
SUP Receiving file ports/distfiles/1.0.37-1.0.38.gz
...
SUP Receiving file ports/distfiles/15mar93.tar.Z

at which point I happened to notice and killed the process.

This is done on a -current as of about a week ago.  (I supped the world,
via standard-supfile, at that time with no trouble).
