At the end of the day, I just need the one port so if the cvs repository is available I could also get it that way. In either case, I'm trying to do the equivalent of: $ cvs co -r '2011/10/01' $FreeBSDportsRepo security/cvs in English, I want to checkout security/cvs from ports as it existed on October 1st, 2011 (the port was deprecated on November 1st 2011. Anything I do with svn seems to want to checkout the entire tree. While desirable for a different project, that's not really in scope right now. Further, I'm temporarily at the end of a metered pipe so the difference between getting all of the ports tree and just the directory that I want is significant. -- -- Chris ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- "There will be an answer, Let it be." e: chris -at- vindaloo -dot- com
