I havent read the section in the handbook so I cant tell how well they explain it, but basically, this is what you need to do. Copy /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile to your home or some other place you find suitable. Edit the ports-supfile. Its well commented and basically all you need to do is choose a cvsup server close to you. The rest of the default values should do just fine. Run cvsup with 'cvsup -g -L2 /path/to/ports-supfile'. Sit back and relax for a few minutes and your ports tree will be updated. -- R To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
