Hmmm... net/cvsupit is marked broken, plus it seems it hasn't been
updated since 4_6_RELEASE was state of the art.
I recommend that you just grab one of the cvsup or cvsup-without-gui
packages, plus any dependencies, from one of the FTP sites and install
(pkg_add) that. Those dependencies are:
/net/cvsup:% make pretty-print-run-depends-list
This port requires package(s) "XFree86-libraries-4.3.0_5 expat-1.95.6_1 fontconfig-2.2.1 freetype2-2.1.4_1 imake-4.3.0 pkgconfig-0.15.0" to run.
/net/cvsup-without-gui:% make pretty-print-run-depends-list
(no dependencies...)
Then the cheat's way of getting cvsup(1) configured quickly is to add
some variable settings to /etc/make.conf:
SUP_UPDATE= yes
SUP= /usr/local/bin/cvsup
SUPFLAGS= -g -L 2
SUPHOST= cvsup.XX.FreeBSD.org [1]
SUPFILE= /usr/share/examples/cvsup/standard-supfile [2]
PORTSSUPFILE= /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile
[1] Choose a server near to you
[2] standard-supfile will get you the sources for the same OS branch
as you installed. In you case, probably RELENG_5_1. However, if you
aren't interested in updating the system sources, it doesn't really
matter what this is set to.
Having done that, you can now:
# cd /usr/ports
# make update
to update your ports tree. If you've got bandwidth to burn, you can
even go as far as removing most of the structure under /usr/ports
before you run cvsup(1):
# cd /usr/ports
# rm -rf [a-z]*
otherwise, you should probably do the register-the-files-with-cvsup
thing.
Cheers,
Matthew
