For a discussion of the release tags, see the "Cutting Edge" chapter in the FreeBSD handbook[1]. Please do note that you most likely *want* to use "tag=." for ports, but *not for source*. You probably want the latest releases of ports, but it's not nearly so likely you want to be running HEAD/CURRENT on your system.... Kevin Kinsey DaleCo, S.P. [1]For 4-STABLE, for example, your cvsup app should be looking for src files tagged "RELENG_4".
