Hey, Maria.
As an added tip I can highly recommend populating the CVSROOT environment in
your preferred shell.
e.g.:
~/.profile:
CVSROOT=anon...@anoncvs.spacehopper.org:/cvs
export CVSROOT
Then all you have to do for checkout in current is:
cd /usr && cvs -q checkout -P ports
and for updating:
cd /usr/ports && cvs -q up -Pd A
Not sure if its industry standard among the porters, but it make it a lot
easier to remember the commands
