In order to install the 'cvsup' program, install the net/cvsup-bin port. I recommend that people *not* try to install cvsup from sources, because it brings up a whole truckload full of other junk that you just don't need. cd /usr/ports/net/cvsup-bin make; make install; make clean After that, the easiest way to keep your ports tree in sync is to create a cronjob that runs cvsup on the ports-supfile examples file as-is ( you do not have to edit the ports-supfile ). Once a week is good: as root, crontab -e, then add: 22 5 * * 0 cvsup -g -L 2 -h cvsup.freebsd.org /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile Make sure root email is forwarded to your emailbox so you get the weekly cvsup status mail. -Matt Matthew Dillon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
