Refer to the Subversion Primer for a detailed description of Subversion. Subversion must be installed before it can be used to check out the ports tree. If a copy of the ports tree is already present, install Subversion like this: # cd /usr/ports/devel/subversion # make install clean If the ports tree is not available, Subversion can be installed as a package: # pkg_add -r subversion If pkgng is being used to manage packages, Subversion can be installed with it instead: # pkg install subversion Check out a copy of the ports tree. Use a specific Subversion mirror close to your geographic location instead of svn.FreeBSD.org in the command below for better performance. Committers should read the Subversion Primer first to be sure the correct protocol is chosen. # svn checkout svn://svn.FreeBSD.org/ports/head /usr/ports To update /usr/ports after the initial Subversion checkout: # svn update /usr/ports http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/updating-upgrading.html That should help with base. -- Yours in Christ, Joseph A Nagy Jr "Whoever loves instruction loves knowledge, But he who hates correction is stupid." -- Proverbs 12:1 Emails are not formal business letters, whatever businesses may want.
