I thought cvs might be a reasonable way to > get it! There is no such a thing as "4.9 ports tree" or "5.2 ports tree". Some ports might build / don't on 4.9 / 5.2, or that they dependences, optimisation, etc. might differ if they are build on, lets say 5.2 rather that 4.9. If you cp -R /usr/ports from a 4.9 machine to a 5.2 machine they will just work, as they are *the same*. The only difference: on 4.x it is used /usr/ports/INDEX rather that /usr/ports/INDEX-5 on 5.x The only tag for cvsup-ping ports should be HEAD (.) unless you have a very special requirement to use only ports tagged for a specific release, from which the packages for that release where build, in which case you will use the release name, eg. 4_9_0. > wish I'd never mentioned it now... > > -pcf. -- IOnut Unregistered ;) FreeBSD user
