,--- Beat Gaetzi (Fri, 07 Sep 2012 14:36:32 +0200) ----* | All users who use CVS or CVSup to update the ports tree are | encouraged to switch to portsnap(8) [1] or for users which need more | control over their ports collection checkout use Subversion directly I just switched to 'svn'-ports on an existing system. The question: When I install the base system on a new machine, where do I get 'svn' for the first ports tree fetch? 'svn' is not becoming a part of 'base', right? I know I can copy it from one of my existing systems but what's the official vision for this first step? portsnap? Also, with 'csup' I could exclude a large part of the ports tree from updates with my 'csup.conf file, e.g.: # ports-vietnamese I assume this is no longer possible, right? -- Alex -- alex-goncharov@comcast.net --
