I'll just go based on the lines in the SUPFILE of interest: 1) *default base=/var/db Does anyone use anything else? Why (I mean beyond "my database isn't in /var/db", Why isn't it there)? 2) *default prefix=/usr Anyone have their ports prefix someplace other than /usr? Again why is it elsewhere? 3) *default release=cvs tag=. OK, what other options are there for release/tag, and where can I find them? For tag, I know of RELENG_#, and I suspect there is also CURRENT_# and STABLE_#, is there any other, such as RELENG_#_#, etc? Any release other than "CVS" 4) *default delete use-rel-suffix I'm somewhat being a lazy bastard here, I know there's more about this in the man page, there's delete, use-rel-suffix, and a couple of other mentioned, but could I get a better explanation than there is there? Thanks, I mentioned the need for a GUI tool to make ports/cvsup more easy for the "noob", and since I need to get some java experience to make myself look good for prospective employers, I'm going to try it. Don't worry, I plan to make a clone in a better language when I'm done. Thank you, -Jim Stapleton
