When installing the package from the stable snapshot server, I noticed there were two packages, cvsup-16.1_1.tgz (dated 6/22) and cvsup-16.1c.tgz (dated 8/13). I installed the cvsup-16.1c.tgz package because of the later date, if this is not the correct one, please let me know.. > > Then the Modula-3 build proceeded for about 25 minutes and failed; > > the build trace just before and including the failure is below. > [...] > > m3ship: quake error: unable to open "/usr/ports/lang/pm3-base/work/pm3-1.1.15/network/tcplibs/tcp/FreeBSD4//FreeBSD4" for reading > > One other person reported this problem, on one and only one of his > systems.

I'd be happy to help reproduce/debug this, send me email directly with any suggestions about stuff I can do/try that would help partition the problem.. FWIW, I use cvsup _all_ the time, and have very much appreciated your efforts over the years both in authoring the utility and maintaining it. Thanks!! ...Marc...
