Well, it certainly missed some (but not all) of mine and apparently other people's as well. The problem ports on my system did have empty pkg and patches directories. Am I missing some key switch in invoking CVSup? I normally invoke it as: cvsup -g -h cvsup7.freebsd.org ports_supfile with the following supfile for ports: *default release=cvs *default prefix=/usr *default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup *default release=cvs delete use-rel-suffix compress ports-all tag=. I know with CVS you can use the -P switch to force removal of empty directories, but couldn't find an equivalent switch in my perusal of the cvsup man page. If there is one I'd love to know, or why some of the empty directories weren't removed when others were. BTW, thanks for writing such a great tool as CVSup John - it's a great boon to users and I appreciate using it very much.
