I ran "cvsup -g -L 2 ports-supfile" (where I was grabbing ports-all) and got through the process without any errors. (All I was hoping to accomplish by doing this is getting the latest port tree because a number of ports I am trying to use no longer work because of the locations of the sources changing. Perhaps I was wrong in going down this road...) So, when I go and try to 'make' any of the ports, I get the following error: bash-2.03# make ===> p5-Mysql-modules-1.2215 : Your system is too old to use this bsd.port.mk. You need a fresh make world or an upgrade kit. Please go to http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports/ or a mirror site and follow the instructions. I go to the link and am told: If your system is older than 4.1-RELEASE, or is running any branch before 4.1, your only reasonable choice for using ports-current is to upgrade to some point along the 4.x branch. Because my system is 4.0, what should I have done, or what do I yet need to do? (It makes sense that I would have to cvsup the base system for the ports to work, but I don't understand how to do this or have any way of verifying that I really need to do that - i.e. through searching the faq or handbook.)
