Why don't you try it and see? All you'll get is an error message
essentially saying 'file not found.'
After reading so many of your intelligent posts, then I typically default
to believing in your methods.
To get svn:// to work then the fileserver, i.e., -fbsd9 and at the moment
becoming -fbsd91 required service svn added outbound in pf.conf. The
gateway is -obsd51 and needed the port number out in pf.conf, since svn is
not included in /etc/services. :)
Simply put, there isn't a path ports/releng/9.1 or ports/stable/9 in
the FreeBSD SVN repository. Look here if you don't believe me:
http://svnweb.freebsd.org/
Click on 'ports' and look at the subdirectories under there.
The *only* bit of the SVN repository that follows the branching
structure you seem so enamoured of is base -- the system sources.
Get that clear in your head, and you will have a much better time of it.
The releases seem neat to me because fbsd reports to have security
officers tracking the specified version. I am not necessarily enamoured
with it. I have followed -stable and -current before.
I can use portsnap as before, or experiment. I might try:
svn co svn://svn.freebsd.org/ports /usr/ports
I probably know everything for my purposes at this point.
As the fileserver is building, some of the points seem obvious now.
Thanks to you and Lowell.
