If you use "make update" in the /usr/ports/Makefile, then you don't need to modify the supfile. Set the hostname and PORTSSUPFILE in /etc/make.conf like so: SUPHOST= cvsupFIXME.FreeBSD.org PORTSSUPFILE= /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile and you're done. That "make update" will update the ports tree for you. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
