Where to Get CVSup
------------------
CVSup is free software.  It is available from the following FTP sites:

  ftp://freefall.freebsd.org/pub/CVSup/
  ftp://ftp.polstra.com/pub/FreeBSD/CVSup/     (slow; avoid if possible)

Full sources as well as FreeBSD binaries are available:

  cvsup-bin-13.5.tar.gz         FreeBSD static binaries for the client
  cvsupd-bin-13.5.tar.gz        FreeBSD static binaries for the server
  cvsup-13.5.tar.gz             Sources **

MD5 signatures for these files are:

  MD5 (cvsup-bin-13.5.tar.gz) = 6ee6a4b335c18d0d00b2f140928d6a3d
  MD5 (cvsupd-bin-13.5.tar.gz) = 005791d8483570f2a093b7e202876d95
  MD5 (cvsup-13.5.tar.gz) = 82c6dc9290fb1ce055a6027670af57f6

An updated port will appear in the FreeBSD ports and packages
collections soon:

  ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports-current/net/cvsup/
  ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/packages-current/net/cvsup-13.5.tgz

The FreeBSD package now depends only on the "modula-3-lib" package,
a subset of the Modula-3 installation consisting of only the shared
libraries.  Because of this, you can now install and use the "cvsup"
package in a reasonable amount of disk space.  The package is much
smaller than the statically linked binary distribution, so updates
to new versions of CVSup should be more convenient now.  The package
is the recommended distribution for binary-only users.  The static
binary distributions will probably be phased out soon.

If you want SOCKS support, you must also install the "modula-3-socks"
port or package:

  ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports-current/lang/modula-3-socks/
  ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/packages-current/lang/modula-3-socks-1.0.tgz

SOCKS is supported only under FreeBSD, and only with dynamically linked
executables.  The static binary distributions do not support SOCKS.
