When I converted from csup to svn I did the following - which seems to work. :-) 1. mv /usr/ports /usr/ports.old 2. mkdir /usr/ports 3. svn checkout into /usr/ports 4. mv /usr/ports.old/distfiles /usr/ports When I do a svn update it ignores distfiles. I hope this terse reply helps. Cheers, Nick. --
