Hi, I've got a query about CVSuping the ports collection for the first time on a system. According to /usr/share/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/cvsup-advanced/examples.html you should use *default tag=<shipping-date-of-your-release> for the first CVSup to create the ports checkouts file. I used tag=2002.06.11.09.02.00 for 4.6-R, so my cvsup file looked like *default tag=2002.06.11.09.02.00 #*default tag=. *default host=cvsup.au.FreeBSD.org *default prefix=/usr *default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup *default release=cvs delete use-rel-suffix compress ports-all When I tried that, cvsup deleted all my ports. Obviously this is not right! The example cvsup file in /usr/obj/examples and the Handbook don't mention this at all, they just say use tag=. for the ports collection. Using tag=. seems to work correctly. I'm just wondering, is that correct, or should I do something else the first time?
