Is there some other way to get ports from > freshports.org? Freshports just shows information about the status and history of various ports. It is not itself a package repository or a source code mirror. If you want to check out just one port like that (which won't actually be a lot of use on it's own -- usually it's best to download the whole ports tree) then read these sections of the handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/svn.html http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/svn-mirrors.htm= l and your command would be something like: svn co https://svn0.us-east.FreeBSD.org/ports/head/x11-wm/spectrwm \ /usr/ports/x11-wm/spectrwm us-east is generally the best choice of SVN mirror for people in Europe at the moment.
