Hello -whoever-! I am currently in the process of deciding whether to use CTM or CVSUP for keeping my FreeBSD up to date, and I'd appreciate some hint which method to use... Problem 1: Phone costs in Germany are no fun, so the less data is transmitted the better. Problem 2: I can't guarantee my source tree to stay intact which would be no problem with CVSUP - CTM leaves me chewing rocks in this case, I'd have to manually transmit the file via ftp. Could you mail me a brief report of what CVSUP exactly does when it sup's - i.e. how much data is transmitted and how long the average sup session takes (for FreeBSD-stable, that is)? ah... and BTW: Does it make sense to CVSUP ports? i.e. can I tell him to manually select which port to sup in order to avoid sup'ping a few hundred megs of source code? Thanks Philipp
