But on ports, you want -current. So if you have one long cvs file, half way through you have to change the default tag so you sup -current for ports. Thus is says in /usr/share/examples/cvsup/4.x-stable-supfile: ############################################################################### # # DANGER! WARNING! LOOK OUT! VORSICHT! # # If you add any of the ports collections to this file, be sure to # specify them like this: # # ports-all tag=. # # If you leave out the "tag=." portion, CVSup will delete all of # the files in your ports tree. That is because the ports collections # do not use the same tags as the main part of the FreeBSD source tree. # ############################################################################### In short, If you already suped current for ports, you should just leave them that way. That at least is right. -Marius M.
