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=3D yes SUP=3D /usr/local/bin/cvsup SUPFLAGS=3D -g -L 2 SUPHOST=3D cvsup.XX.FreeBSD.org [1] SUPFILE=3D /usr/share/examples/cvsup/standard-supfile [2] PORTSSUPFILE=3D /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.
