Just install the packages cvsup and modula-3-lib. Instructions on how to create cvsupfiles should be provided. I use this converted supfile to fetch the /usr/src/share and the www site: src-share release=cvs host=cvsup2.FreeBSD.org hostbase=/home base=/usr prefix=/usr delete old use-rel-suffix tag=. www release=cvs host=cvsup2.FreeBSD.org hostbase=/home base=/usr prefix=/usr delete old use-rel-suffix compress tag=. This pulls the most current FILES, not the CVS tree. Adjust the tag item to something like RELENG_2_2_1_RELEASE to pull the release. > I would like to get the sources directly into /usr/src on my machine. The above will do this.
