>Description:
When using cvsup to update just the ports, the makefiles present in the /usr/ports tree are all deleted.
The only way to restore them is to reinstall the distribution.
This happens on the following cvsup server i have tested: cvsup1.freebsd.org, cvsup2.freebsd.org, cvsup5.freebsd.org
>How-To-Repeat:
Do a cvsup on just the ports. ports-all
