How do I get an older port? > To go back to an earlier date you need to set the date in your cvsup file, according to the cvsup man page the format is: date=[cc]yy.mm.dd.hh.mm.ss This specifies a date that should be used to select the revi- sions that are checked out from the CVS repository. The client will receive the revisions that were in effect at the specified date and time. At present, the date format is inflexible. All 17 or 19 characters must be specified, exactly as shown. For the years 2000 and beyond, specify the century cc. For earlier years, specify only the last two digits yy. Dates and times are considered to be GMT. The default date is `.', which means ``as late as possible''. NOTE: you'll need to remove this settng later, when you want to get a current ports collection. If you let us know what problems your having with the port (on the ports mailing list), maybe some one here can help. Scot PS. Send all further replies to the ports mailing list
