You will need to install /usr/ports/net/cvsup cvsup synchronizes your ports tree with the main server (or mirror). A sample supfile is located in /usr/share/examples/cvsup. Also, the handbook covers cvsup pretty well: http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/synching.html Finally, if you are trying to synchronize your ports from a FreeBSD 4.0 or 4.1 machine, you will need to install an upgrade kit at www.freebsd.org/ports It appears as if the new recommendation for pre-4.0 users is to upgrade the OS! -- Christopher Farley www.northernbrewer.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
