Packages are retrieved from the 'Net automatically. Your ports tree is probably way out of date. CVSUP is one of a couple of programs used to update your ports tree. Check out the manual "staying current<?>" for more information about this. As for your 2nd ??, how about: $ls -l /usr/ports/www/apache13 total 40 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 3701 Oct 9 18:03 Makefile -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 62 Oct 9 18:03 distinfo drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Aug 23 23:10 files -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 65 Jun 26 1999 pkg-comment -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 285 Dec 7 2001 pkg-deinstall -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 305 May 7 2000 pkg-descr -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 666 Oct 21 2001 pkg-install -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 244 Mar 24 2002 pkg-message -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 20833 Oct 9 18:03 pkg-plist This tells me that the Makefile for apache1.3x was *very* current on October 9th...
