Ideally, the port could accept a release tag and other CVS config data and check the software out of our CVS server. Else, I can supply a tarball distfile in a seperate step. I swear I remember watching a few ports that got their distfiles from a CVS server, but I could find nothing in the porter's handbook or in bsd.port.mk about this. And trying to search for this question is rather difficult, given that cvsup and ports are so intertwined. Does anyone have any pointers on this? Please reply-all, as I am not subscribed to freebsd-ports. Thanks! Sincerely, -danny -- http://dannyman.toldme.com/
