I already use a script to do cvs for ports. Right now, it downloads a copy of ports.tar.gz for "just in case cvs checkout fails". Which method would be preferable for the other end (the cvs server)? ports.tar.gz then cvs up or cvs checkout Either method is fine for me, but which method would be preferable? I don't get ports.tar.gz from the same server as cvs. Does a checkout put less load on the cvs server than running a comparison with cvs up? Or is the increased data with checkout more important to eliminate? -- Thanks, Chris Bennett
