Specifically, I think you're misunderstanding what cvsup does: it updates a local source repository. If you want to update the files in your Ports Collection, you then need to run 'cvs update'. That's described in the handbook, and also in "The Complete FreeBSD". But you don't really need to go that far; you should be able to get the updated port from the web server. Take a look at http://www.freebsd.org/ports/index.html, and unless you're on a slow link just download ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/ports/ports.tar.gz to be sure you have all the latest ports. =20 My real question was, why MySQL 4.0? It's missing a lot of the features of 4.1. Note, BTW, that the latest version of 4.0. is now 4.0.26. But I'd recommend 4.1.14 instead.
