To get svn:// to work then the fileserver, i.e., -fbsd9 and at the moment becoming -fbsd91 required service svn added outbound in pf.conf. The gateway is -obsd51 and needed the port number out in pf.conf, since svn is not included in /etc/services. :) > Simply put, there isn't a path ports/releng/9.1 or ports/stable/9 in > the FreeBSD SVN repository.

The releases seem neat to me because fbsd reports to have security officers tracking the specified version. I am not necessarily enamoured with it. I have followed -stable and -current before. I can use portsnap as before, or experiment. I might try: svn co svn://svn.freebsd.org/ports /usr/ports I probably know everything for my purposes at this point. As the fileserver is building, some of the points seem obvious now. Thanks to you and Lowell. Darrel
