In http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/cvsup.html Which version(s) of them do you want? With CVSup, you can receive virtually any version of the sources that ever existed. That is possible because the cvsupd server works directly from the CVS repository, which contains all of the versions. You specify which one of them you want using the tag= and date= value fields. Warning: Be very careful to specify any tag= fields correctly. Some tags are valid only for certain collections of files. If you specify an incorrect or misspelled tag, CVSup will delete files which you probably do not want deleted. ==> In particular, use only tag=. for the ports-* collections. The default method is to have two separate cvsupfiles, one for your source tree and one for the ports collection. Maybe you got bitten by merging them into one, so the tag=RELENG_4 was applied to your ports collection, too?
