You obviously have way too much free time. :-) > 'Let's only CVSup once for both src/ and ports/' You can do that anyway. Remember the "*default" lines in the cvsupfile only set defaults; they can be overridden for individual collections. For example (omitting the irrelevant boilerplate): *default tag=. src-all tag=RELENG_3 ports-all doc-all will get you the current versions of the ports and docs, plus the -stable source tree. You can even get two different versions of the source tree in a single run. Just make sure you tell CVSup to put them in different places: src-all tag=RELENG_3 prefix=/usr/stable src-all tag=. prefix=/usr/current The only thing you can't do in a single run is contact more than one server.
