Hi Jon I just ran across this on the web (they're not examples), it's a pretty good read if you wanna review the basics of using cvsup. Not sure if this will help you, just thought i'd pass it along in case :) http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html Desmond -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Jon Reynolds Sent: Tuesday, August 06, 2002 9:05 PM To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Using CVSup On Tue, 2002-08-06 at 12:23, Josh Paetzel wrote: > On Tue, Aug 06, 2002 at 02:21:36PM -0800, Jon Reynolds wrote: > > Okay I have installed the cvsup-without-gui from my ports directory and read > > through the link I was given and here is what I came up with.

Is there a place on the web where these examples are stored so that I can look at them? And uh..I actually already ran my cvsup using the format I had shown up above and it seemed to work fine, I checked a few of the ports and they where updated.
