Yes. Well, not horrible, but this was pilot error. As I think you've been told once already recently (or at least someone has told someone else within the last 48 hours or so) you ***must*** use: *default release=cvs tag=. (that's a dot or 'period'), because the ports tree isn't tagged like the RELENG branches are. So, in your case, cvsup replaced your extant ports tree with all the ones from the release it couldn't find, which happened to be nil ... and your ports collection is now blank. Kevin Kinsey
