Leave it as the dot. If you want to have a single supfile that handles =
ports and source, you can say something like:

*default host=3Dcvsup2.freebsd.org
*default prefix=3D/usr
*default base=3D/usr
*default release=3Dcvs tag=3DRELENG_4
*default delete use-rel-suffix
*default compress
src-all
ports-all tag=3D.

This may be explained in the sample supfiles in =
/usr/share/examples/cvsup, I am not sure.
