Snapshots are generated every now and then - you can download them via FTP. However, CVSup is not really that complicated, and in case you really want something "up-to-date" in terms of hours and not days, CVSup is probably the best way. Basically, setting up CVSup for the first time may be a bit tricky, but I guess that including the installation, a first time user should be able to start from scratch and fetch their first sources in about an hour. Of course, once you've done it the first time, it will be easier on subsequent updates ;-) Greetings Nils -- Nils Holland Ti Systems - FreeBSD in Tiddische, Germany http://www.tisys.org * nils@tisys.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
