Btw. please note the difference between cvs and cvsup. cvs is the program / system which maintains the source trees (inc. ports) and cvsup is "only" a program to mirror among other things cvs repositories. If you add cvs-all to your cvsup file I think you get everything so you should also get ports. Where it will put the files is another matter. But if you want to experiment just rename /usr/ports and test. If something fails you can just use your old version again. You could also consider having your own cvsup mirror (ports/net/cvsup-mirror). That can be an be useful some times, but of course uses a lot of extra diskspace and bandwidth. --=20 Simon L.
