Hello list, I'm using cvsup to update my FreeBSD boxes trough a local cvsup mirror that I cvsup only when only when I want/need because I want to avoid boxes running different versions of FreeBSD/ports. What I would like to do is to update the base and the ports at differents time intervals. Working with two 'versions' will help me to update my ports more often (e.g.: security issues) while the base will be updated less often depending more on my own requirements (except for security and critical fixes). cvsup-mirror (package used on my mirror) is great but it doesn't seem to be easy / clean to implement what I want with it. Am I missing something here ? I know that I can cvsup (on the client) the base and ports at a different period but I want to be able to keep the same src tree across multiple ports tree updates (on my mirror). Running a jail is a possibility but I'm first looking for other users experiences...
