The ports tree is always getting updated. New ports are added every day almost.

I don't think there is a way to update your ports tree for just one port, but it doesn't seem like it would be that hard. If low bandwidth is a problem then you could just set up a ports-supfile to comment out all the other ports dirs except graphics. Then cvsup with that and it should be a pretty small download. > > Is it possible for someone with 4.2 to tar this directory, then for > me to untar it and for it to work without problems? In case nobody else sent it to you, here it is. Cd to usr/ports/graphics and untar it there. You'll have to gunzip it first since I did it seperately. I don't have any idea if that will work. Try it and let me know if it works. --------------Boundary-00=_ZHJN2GSCZU1LS6WXTTFN Content-Type: application/x-gzip; name="vid.tar.gz" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Description: tar of the vid port tree directory Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="vid.tar.gz" H4sICEfHVDoCA3ZpZC50YXIA7Vdtb+JGEOYr+ytGSqT0pGJsjCFFoT0SnBQdbzJu6LdobU9gFduL 1oZcGuW/d9Zwul5Obb80SRXtIxDa2WFmZ3dndp6dSJq1Fwa07a7nQQ007Ge/hwF0W47rum3b7dK4 2217NfBqr4BtUXIFUFNSlv+kd79GTGvvDjs6/wm/w1uR4kv5cGy7027/7fk7Tqe7P3+n26aBlnh2 twa2Of8XxxFM8R42UpUFxDJNMS6FzCE7XAm4lapXp0vCjmDIS4RYIf0kvXo93CIMMQbwwHF7bqvn uHA1CaFl2zZpL9cyI616IFeo4FeuEpHxHM6UHn+8VYhRkVhSrX5hR6R+fEmS88Wwt19Lc6X4Zi3i ovnXC/rjDhyrVXloOq2mTZ7bPfq4p1CZBf/zBo7JHpvPgnA6mPj9au16dO0Hi9Fs2q87lm057GIQ +lezYOQv+vUvvthksAj94GYxCrV4XZabXrOZYRahKiyKB61YZs213BaYNhmpj6Yhff2gX/8uLMbG o/OboT/3p8NFX9/zTZT1jh/1WhbDUfD0NcQcS5pjtAvhGqv4IZFYQC5L2OYJOS95nsCJPhTgaXoC Uh1GIqc5ktB/CwnxmucrhJKsnJD0hm72CssTKCVECJhtygfQlmj9ILcK5H1OnhoHI0D/TlJUFmOD 8fgmHARXfthn7KtGj9WPH0fTRajn58HsKhhMnuD4cRl8WgQXT/qsaDQP/MvR70/NSOSMWSKP022C cKb3RcdmZXc/s5rB/6f+J6IoRX4r36j+69r/pf47Hceu6r9r6v+rYDL04Ae6BI2qLFq0F9bqjw/Q h6jl8iQ+9WLbjWOPtxx0PerKvJ+wg3h6GpkUfjf5v7lbNehhyzAv3yb/O96z/G85bdfk/2vgSvEI qDNbUb9xq2QGvy3O4YJnqHhBfYLIV1U7Mbv2HIf6C7EpsDSp//7yP8EiVm/0/ne+ef+dihG2Oib/ X+n8QRTAYaRrAGX+ptwqIiHEZxTPNP2rKkL8vCKwWZaLnSg0WfymOBB7YERjCs1N9p2/1mYAF5o5 ih3CmEcFLDGiKgMu0MywMRb5HQwX540L17a1aE6LKPEO5mGjY9tdLRqkmzWH673LT5KnvKEt0MxY 3OJOEI0NZCQPssEO1QQTQYHlJSot9VNBBJbmKvklURGEyXXlkFXE6xDzPcV5r0RZYg7RA8xpIURg K9IHZ3vy95HHmSZ5HzSdYrR/a+Q7kT5AxAtMgBaoiyZFtf182J1EUehqX2IPxJLrgKzkIU/yQhtr yh1pEq9ky+WyB/9GP//b/N+kRALeqv937O/z37z/rwIi6Zq2myfdwMDAwMDAwMDAwMDAwMDA4J3i T6pbK9IAKAAA --------------Boundary-00=_ZHJN2GSCZU1LS6WXTTFN-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
