Yes, the "make update" command either employs csup or cvsup (from ports,
e. g. cvsup-without-gui). Which one is used is controlled by the
setting in /etc/make.conf, for example:

	SUP_UPDATE=     yes
	SUP=            /usr/bin/csup
	SUPFLAGS=       -g -L 2
	SUPHOST=        cvsup.freebsd.org
	SUPFILE=        /etc/sup/stable.sup
	PORTSSUPFILE=   /etc/sup/ports.sup

Version control is done by the sup control files.

If you do "make update" in /usr/src, I think the /usr/ports subtree
will get updated, too. If not, don't forget to

	# cd /usr/ports
	# make update

in order to update the ports.

Note that there are other tools that can do that, too, e. g. portsnap.

This is only important if you use tools like portupgrade.



Erm, what was the initial question?
