Well, that's *easy*, take /usr/ports for example:
cat checkouts_file |sed 's/^C /XXX /' |grep -w XXX | \
awk '{print $2}' |sed 's/,v//' >/tmp/filelist
This will give you a list of the files that are "alive" in the
checkouts file (should be on your disk) in the format:
relative_path/filename (like: ports/archivers/bzip2)
If you have more than one checkouts file "cat" them to one file first.
Now do:
cd /usr
tar -cf /wherever/tarball --files-from /tmp/filelist
rm -fr ports (don't forget to move your distfiles to a save place!)
tar -xf /wherever/tarball
And it's done:) your /usr/ports is *fresh* again as if you
just CVSup'ed the stuff. In fact the script i'm writing uses
this little bit of *magic* but nobody seems to care....
