Yes, it is now branched, and he was probably using the equivalent of: http://svnweb.FreeBSD.org/ports/branches/RELENG_9_1_0/ rather than http://svnweb.FreeBSD.org/ports/head/ By the way, Anton, you may wish to use https:// rather than svn:// -- slightly less efficient, but more secure. ok, I'll give it a go Thanks Anton
