See /usr/share/examples/cvsup/{,secure-}cvs-supfile: - "prefix" should be set to a directory with enough space to hold the repository (e.g. "/big_disk/FreeBSD-CVS"). - at the moment it needs ~800MB (src~=620MB, ports~=180MB), if you also want doc and www it needs ~900MB. - remove your /usr/src, set the CVSROOT variable ("/big_disk/FreeBSD-CVS") and check the source out ("cvs co src"). Add "CVS_UPDATE=yes" to your make.conf (and remove "SUP_UPDATE") and a "make update" in /usr/src uses your private CVS repository to update the source.
