Not without modifying the source code to cvsup.
What I recommend you do is add the '-1' flag to your cvsup command line
-- so cvsup will try once to pull down the updates and then exit. Then
you can use a trivial bit of shell scripting to try again if the first
attempt failed, although you should try to cvsup from a different server
if you need to retry.
eg.
#!/bin/sh
CVSUP=/usr/local/bin/cvsup
CVSUPFLAGS=-1 -g -L2 /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile
CVSUPSERVERS='
cvsup.xx.freebsd.org
cvsup.yy.freebsd.org
cvsup.zz.freebsd.org
'
OTHERCMDS=portsdb -Uu && portupgrade
for $h in $CVSUPSERVERS ; do
$CVSUP -h $h $CVSUPFLAGS && \
$OTHERCMDS && \
break
done
Note: untested code intended only as an outline of what you might do --
will need some work before suitable for serious use.
Cheers,
Matthew
