Date: Wed, 21 Nov 2012 11:10:28 -0500 From: Fbsd8 <fbsd8@a1poweruser.com> I use packages for all my ports. But some times I have to use ports make files because I need to change the default configuration. I use a custom csup script to just download the desired single port. Since the CVSup/Csup service is being phased out as of February 28, 2013, How can I duplicate this function using svn? Following is a sample csup script I use to download a single port. #! /bin/sh # This script is used to download make files for ytree port. # Load script symbolic field with path & file name cvsupfile=/root/temp.work.file # Check to see if file exists & delete it if it does [ -e "$cvsupfile" ] && rm -f "$cvsupfile" # Load instream data to file cat >> "$cvsupfile" <<EOD *default base=/usr # create CVSup tree off /usr directory *default release=cvs *default delete use-rel-suffix # no compression, for DSL or t1 lines *default host=cvsup11.FreeBSD.org # Virginia *default tag=. # set tag value to nulls to get most current version ports-misc EOD # Exec csup to download just the selected port make files cd /usr/ports/ csup -g -L 2 -i ports/misc/ytree "$cvsupfile" # Delete file we are done with it rm -f "$cvsupfile" echo " Ytree port download completed." I would do: # cd /usr/ports # svn co svn://svn0.us-east.freebsd.org/ports/head/ . This will populate your ports tree. Then, you can update anything and everything, e.g. the whole ports tree: # svn up /usr/ports or just a single port: # svn up /usr/ports/misc/ytree I think it's way simpler than your current method. In my opinion, svn is way better (at least in this regard) than csup. Other useful thing that is easy with svn is reverting port updates, e.g. when new ports don't build or give other problems. For example, right now the latest sudo doesn't work for me on ia64. So I do # svn up /usr/ports # svn up -r302692 /usr/ports/security/sudo to build an older working version of sudo. Anton
