You can now * specify glob-style patterns to fine-tune what you receive. For * your particular case, you could use the "cvs-all" collection, and * specify "-i ports -i src/share/mk" on the command line. (Or, use * the ports-all and src-share collections, with the same "-i" * options. It doesn't matter much. If you're already using * "ports-all", you should probably stick with it, since otherwise * you'll be starting from scratch with your "checkouts.cvs" files.) That's great. Do you mind adding that to the ports web page? :) * You _could_ specify "-i src/share/mk/bsd.port.mk,v", but I wouldn't * recommend it. The files in src/share/mk tend to go together. It's * not a good idea to mix & match different versions of them. I'm not sure if I agree with this though. bsd.port.mk goes with bsd.port.subdir.mk (and of course the "ports" tree) but the rest of *.mk's go with the rest of src. If you install a -current bsd.info.mk on an old 2.2 system for instance, all the install-info targets are going to barf at you. Satoshi
