I have a couple follow-up questions. (1) When do you run cvsup? I don't understand the relationship between cvsup and portupgrade. As I understand things, portupgrade fetches the latest tarball of the given port. If this is indeed the case, why does the portupgrade man page have a tip that says be sure to run portsdb -Uu everytime you cvsup? This tip suggests that you should run cvsup as part of the portupgrade routine. (2) What value do you use for the base parameter in your cvsup file? Should these bookkeeping files be shared between the jail and the mothership? Thanks, m
