You can add the ports-all collection to the collections that are updated in
the CVS repository mirror. Then, after cvsup is finished bringing the
ports/ tree in your CVS mirror, you can use cvs to update /usr/ports.
1. To check out a copy of ports under /usr (paying attention not to nuke
/usr/ports/distfiles and all the downloaded sources):
# cd /usr
# mv ports/distfiles .
# rm -fr ports
# cvs -q -d /home/ncvs checkout ports
# mv distfiles ports
2. To update the ports collection with CVS after the initial checkout:
# cd /usr/ports
# cvs -q up -APd
If you remove some of the directories under /usr/ports (for instance, I
don't care about /usr/ports/chinese since I don't use any chinese ports)
you can remove those subdirectories of /usr/ports and only cvs `update' the
remaining subdirectories:
# cd /usr/ports
# cvs -q up -APd *
