Well, if it were me, I'd simply do:
# rm -r /home/ncvs
Then I'd change "prefix='home/ncvs" to "prefix=/usr", just so I could
cvsup the ports tree if I ever wanted to.
But after makeing that change, I'd run:
# portsnap fetch extract
And know that that next time I wanted to update the ports tree, I'd run:
# portsnap fetch update
Followed by (since I'd have portupgrade installed) running:
# portversion -v | grep needs or some other method of
dtermining which ports needed upgrading.
But that's just me, and the way I would do it. There are other ways.

Hello to all,
Not long ago, I ran cvsup "successfully".
In the example cvs-supfile, the following opening lines exist:
# base=/var/db
# This specifies the root where CVSup will store information
# about the collections you have transferred to your system.
# A setting of "/var/db" will generate this information in
# /var/db/sup. Even if you are CVSupping a large number of
# collections, you will be hard pressed to generate more than
# ~1MB of data in this directory. You can override the
# "base" setting on the command line with cvsup's "-b base"
# option. This directory must exist in order to run CVSup.
#
# prefix=/home/ncvs
# This specifies where to place the requested files. A
# setting of "/home/ncvs" will place all of the files
# requested in /home/ncvs (e.g., "/home/ncvs/src/bin",
# "/home/ncvs/ports/archivers"). The prefix directory
# must exist in order to run CVSup.
I attempted running cvsup with "base" and "prefix" locations other than the
ones stated above; and, it did not work.
However, when I edited the supfile as described above, the whole process ran
to completion, "successfully".
Well, now I have an updated ports tree in /home/ncvs/ports instead
of /usr/ports.
So, my question this morning is what do I do with that? Do I
treat /home/ncvs/ports as if it were /usr/ports?
Do I copy the entire /home/ncvs/ports directory to /usr/ports for updated
ports?
Thank you in advance for directives.
