Yes, you can make CVSup retrieve only the ports tree. Look at /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile for an example on how to do this. (And, no, CVsup won't update the rest of your system even if you use it to get everything. It will just get the sources for the system so that you can rebuild it yourself if so desired.) -- <Insert your favourite quote here.> Erik Trulsson ertr1013@student.uu.se To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
