I know the ports ARE included in RELENG_2_2. They are *NOT*. See this excerpt from /usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile: # DANGER! WARNING! LOOK OUT! VORSICHT! # # If you add any of the ports collections to this file, be sure to # specify them like this: # # ports-all tag=. # # If you leave out the "tag=." portion, CVSup will delete all of # the files in your ports tree. That is because "RELENG_2_1_0" and # "RELENG_2_2" are not valid tags for the ports portion of the CVS # repository. Now, without the relevant line(s) from your CVSupfile and the host that you are CVSupping from, nobody can do anything more than speculate that you've changed something and are looking for someone else to blame for your mistake. mike
