Why are you taking something simple and making it complicated. The whole setup used by cvsup is about as KISS simple as you can get. It isn't until you change things that you get into trouble. The default ports-supfile on the system has something like *default host=ruby *default base=/usr *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs tag=. *default delete use-rel-suffix # If your network link is a T1 or faster, comment out the following line. *default compress # collections, ports-all The only thing you need to change is the host. If you change any of the other options, you will have problems building ports at some point. I have a local mirror on my computer I call ruby. Otherwise it would have a US mirror on that line. The good part of this is that I am connected to ruby with a 100mbps network and should have commented the compress out.
