Each port is available as a module in the FreeBSD CVS, so for instance you can do something like this to grab a specific port from CVS: % setenv R_CVSROOT :ext:anoncvs@anoncvs.fr.FreeBSD.org:/home/ncvs % cvs -d $R_CVSROOT checkout apache22 Password: cvs checkout: Updating apache22 U apache22/Makefile U apache22/Makefile.doc [... etc ...] The module name is generally the same as the port directory, but not necessarily -- also, for new ports, there may be a period of a day or so before the MODULES data is updated but after the port is committed. In the event of difficulty, you can poke around here to find a useful checkout target: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/CVSROOT-ports/modules See the Handbook page on anonymous CVS servers to find one near you and also about how to interact with them -- case in point, for the server above, just hit [Return] in answer to the Password: prompt. Unless you're severely cramped for space *or* dealing with ports that a lot of other ports depend on, I'd advise just keeping an up to date copy of the whole ports tree around (maintained by csup or portsnap in the usual way) and just check out the ports you're particularly interested in from CVS to a separate directory. The ports is clever enough to work quite happily with out-of-tree port directories. I grabbed most of this from Ion-Mihai's guide at: http://ionut.tetcu.info/FreeBSD/How-to-submit-a-diff.txt Cheers, Matthew --=20 Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 7 Priory Courtyard Flat 3 PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey Ramsgate JID: matthew@infracaninophile.co.uk Kent, CT11 9PW --------------enigE227A986EF99E8C616B0B0A9 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.14 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkxdJTMACgkQ8Mjk52CukIyf/gCfZAPJF0VvaHcSqSxWjn2lJZCq Y2EAnjEWNdm4SdFzI9IC6I+GnInE3bsX =BsEF -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enigE227A986EF99E8C616B0B0A9--
