In case of system cvsup tag=3D. means to get 6.0-CURRENT. For ports cvsup (which is what I presume you want) tag=3D. is correct. > 3) portsdb -Uu > 4) portversion -v > 5) portupgrade -arR { to upgrade from all the lower > versions of applications ) I would recommend you to use also -b switch in portupgrade (like -abrR) to preserve replaced version of software you are upgrading.
