For example, /usr/ports/sysutils/fileutils/ has just a README.html file in it. I just ran cvsup to update my ports tree and no change. I checked at http://www.freebsd.org/ports/ and could only search up to the 5.1-RELEASE ports tree. > > I've got a list of 18 ports that has only this README.html file so it doesn't seem to be just a random occurance. Not random. Those ports got moved/renamed/removed to something else. For example, fileutils got renamed to coreutils. Look up those ports in freshports.org to see what happened to them: For fileutils: http://www.freshports.org/sysutils/fileutils Just put the relative path of the port and prepend http://www.freshports.org/ to it. Ie., http://www.freshports.org/graphics/gimp1
