I just tried it today and on the target machine (an old 4.5 machine) it complained about some missing libraries. Is it still possible to build CVsup in such a way that one could just copy the cvsup file to another machine? How about making a package or a binary distribution? I tried "make package", and got a package, but on the target machine it then needed a number of other ports. At the time the machine did not have a port directory and no cvsup. :-( I ended up making a gzipped tar file of one of my machines ports directory and am now building cvsup from sources (also had to manually copy /usr/share/mk/bsd.port* files)
