But if you want the snap-shot of 5.2R's ports why cvsup ? The > cvsup will get you nothing. Then please tell me how can I get ports tree at the moment of tagging? Pre-release code freeze for 5.2 has been done in December, while 5.2-RELEASE has been available since only 12th of January. Where can I get this ports collection in the interim? As you know, distfiles for some ports have a bad habit of disappearing from the Net, so this delay is essential for me. BTW, if small but critical errors (such as different typos which happen time to time) found in ports tree between the tagging and release announcement, I'm sure that they will be corrected in RELEASE_x_y_z also, won't them?
