What I do is maintain local private mirrors of the FreeBSD src, doc, and ports SVN repositories, and check out what I want to use via svn using those repositories. This does not require a password. It is unlikely that most folks will want (let alone need) to maintain such mirrors, but I find it easy and useful for what I do. Note that there has been an "end of the line" posted re: the current CVS exporter for ports: there is a date in the not-too-distant future when only SVN will be supported by the FreeBSD project (again, for ports). (The doc repo never had a CVS exporter after its conversion from CVS to SVN. AFAIK, there are no current plans to turn off the CVS exporter for the src repo -- but doc & src are off-topic for this list.) Peace, david --=20 David H.
