Just as was mentioned above, I removed it. Jim, You mentioned that you didn't have a refuse file. You might want to double check that /usr/local/etc/cvsup/sup/refuse or [other_default_base_specified_by_your_ports_supfile]/sup/refuse does indeed not exist. find / -name refuse -print #also a handy way, providing your user has the perms to read the dirs where refuse might be lurking. > But, I didn't bother to remove my recently cvsup'ed ports collection > (sans other lang).
