Hi Peter, You can fetch a ports tree as of specific date like so: cvs -d :ext:anoncvs@anoncvs1.FreeBSD.org:/home/ncvs export -D 2010-10-01 - -d ports-2010-10-01 ports In this example, I am exporting (no CVS metadata dirs) a full ports tree as of Oct 1st, 2010 into the directory "ports-2010-10-01". You can keep many different dated copies of the ports tree, and you can also fetch portions of it as of a specific date if you specify a more complete module name, e.g. ports/lang/gcc45.
