Looking at the CVS log, I saw that all it did was neatly descend into each directory and delete the Makefile for each port (I chose to install the ports collection during a re-install). Going through and actually *reading* the ports cvsupfile, I see it's for ports-current, which I suppose explains the above behaviour. So my question is, can I use CVSUP to get ports-2.2?? I really like having everything local. I also noticed that dependancies are now fetched automatically, which is very nice... Thanks, Charles
