Hello. I am running FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE I have recently had a problem with ports and cannot get the ports to download completely. Basically, in an effort to save space and exclude ports that I never need like x11, japanese, etc.. I deleted these directories from the /usr/ports directory and changed by entry in the /etc/cvsupfile from:
ports-all to: ports-base ports-archivers ports-converters ports-databases ports-devel ports-editors ports-ftp ports-japanese ports-security ports-shells ports-sysutils ports-www . . . Unfortunatly, the next time I executed /usr/local/bin/cvsup -g -L 2 -P - /etc/cvsupfile most of my remaining ports were deleted. Ex. My intention was to have a complte /usr/ports/www directory, however, this only contains two directories. apache13 php5-cgi Also, I should have a sysutils directory. Well, in this case the directory is completely gone. I have also notice that most Makefiles have been deleted. I attempted to completely rebuild my ports directories from a 4.9 CD. They all copied over fine but when I execute /usr/local/bin/cvsup (This time with the original ports-all) all my ports are deleted again. This is very frustrating. I hope that someone can help and I appologize for the long description. Please send me email directly and I will followup with the resolution.
