This is what cvsup has in the ports-tree: net/cvsup-bin net/cvsup The build of cvsup from source is *very* big, whereas the -bin just installs the latest compiled binary from ftp-servers. We could do the same for jdkxx. Cheers. -- Jonathan Chen ---------------------------------------------------------------------- When you don't know what you are doing, do it neatly.
