Not exactly, there's only one 'version' of ports tree independent of system version. Empty tag ('tag=.') is all that's needed. Have a look at the Handbook (chapter A.5.3 "CVSup Configuration)[1]: << Which version(s) of them do you want? [...] Warning: Be very careful to specify any tag= fields correctly. Some tags are valid only for certain collections of files. If you specify an incorrect or misspelled tag, CVSup will delete files which you probably do not want deleted. In particular, use only tag=. for the ports-* collections. >> > I am concerned about getting software that really matches the version of > FreeBSD I am running.
