One suggestion: use csup to fetch ports-all and specify different releases as your tag in your supfile. Then you can do whatever you like with the different versions of the ports tree that you have fetched. It is my understanding that you can't fetch different versions of the ports tree via csup based on release tags, but I could be mistaken.

It is my understanding that you can't fetch different versions of the ports tree via csup based on release tags, but I could be mistaken. You can, but the tags have a different format from the source tags. Ports tags for releases are along the lines of RELEASE_X_Y_Z_SOMETHING (it's a big long string) or FREEBSD_X_Y_Z_RELEASE or something like that. They're not advertised, but they are there. -- Freddie Cash fjwc...@gmail.com ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

There is one for each major version: http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports/INDEX-5.bz2 http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports/INDEX-6.bz2 http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports/INDEX-7.bz2 http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports/INDEX-8.bz2 http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports/INDEX-9.bz2 Although it's always just the HEAD version. As others already pointed out, if you want the package list for a specific release you could checkout the ports tree from a release tag and build INDEX yourself.
