Ok. I'm running 4.8 release. How should I update my ports-tree? I tried cvsup. Manual says there is only a current branch for the ports collection. (cvsup: tag=.) If I give tag=RELENG_4, it only deletes the port directories. Is it possible to update the ports tree to stable branch at all, i.e. "current" 4 stable? I have only a modem connection and I would like to avoid updating everything and would like to stay within stable-branch. Thanks for any help!! -- Jukka
