Yes and remove "ports-all", one supfile for ports and one supfile for system, here is my systems supfile: *default host=3Dcvsup12.us.FreeBSD.org *default base=3D/var/db *default prefix=3D/usr *default release=3Dcvs tag=3DRELENG_6 *default delete use-rel-suffix *default compress src-all And here is my ports supfile: *default host=3Dcvsup12.us.FreeBSD.org *default base=3D/var/db *default prefix=3D/usr *default release=3Dcvs tag=3D. *default delete use-rel-suffix *default compress ports-all The Ports system has no cvs branches, it is always HEAD.
