I would do: # cd /usr/ports # svn co svn://svn0.us-east.freebsd.org/ports/head/ . This will populate your ports tree. Then, you can update anything and everything, e.g. the whole ports tree: # svn up /usr/ports or just a single port: # svn up /usr/ports/misc/ytree I think it's way simpler than your current method. In my opinion, svn is way better (at least in this regard) than csup. Other useful thing that is easy with svn is reverting port updates, e.g. when new ports don't build or give other problems. For example, right now the latest sudo doesn't work for me on ia64. So I do # svn up /usr/ports # svn up -r302692 /usr/ports/security/sudo to build an older working version of sudo. Anton
You missed to whole point of my question. I don't want to maintain the WHOLE ports tree. I only want to download selected single port. My current ports tree only has 2 ports, apache22 and php5. So your reply did not answer my question. Thanks any how. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
