It would help you if you installed the ports tree and portupgrade (and cvsup it every day via cron to keep it up-to-date). If you did that, you would bave been able to do like I have just done:
But I figured that if I always pull the index from an FTP site, it's guaranteed to be up to date. Isn't that true? I'm never going to install more than a small fraction of the ports, so putting the entire tree on my site seems wasteful, especially if I have to constantly update it. I do have the tree on my production server, but only because I had a lot more disk space to play with.
Read the CVSup info on the FBSD site. There are ways (it escapes me at the moment) to exclude things from the cvsup, IE: languages etc.
