You could use CVS or install /usr/ports/net/cvsup. It is very easy to upgrade your ports with CVSup. The syntax is 'cvsup supfile' where the supfile describes the working directory tree to be updated, in this case /usr/ports. Sample supfiles, including a ports-supfile, are in /usr/share/examples/cvsup. To get the ports supfile working, you need to edit the file and specify a cvsup server. There is good CVSup documentation, including a list of FreeBSD cvsup servers, at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/cvsup.html -- Christopher Farley www.northernbrewer.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
