I'm trying to compile cvsup on an AMD64 snapshot but has a problem  
downloading all the emz3 stuff.  Is there a precompiled AMD64 cvsup  
anywhere?  I have the idea that the tree is stale but I've updated  
using portsnap and unless I have misunderstood the manual, it is up to

date.

Any suggestions, I'm stuck as far as using cvsup for upgrading all  
else seems to be OK.

Thanks,

Do you not have csup installed on the base system??
Csup is the replacement for cvsup and is in the base system for some
time.

Else try pkg_add -r cvsup

csup is in the base system, and is a more-or-less drop-in replacement
for cvsup -- *except* for the fact that it doesn't handle cvs trees
themselves. 

If you are maintaining a local cvs tree, you will need cvsup.  I think
that updating just that one port's skeleton (and maybe the one for
cvsup also, though I don't think you'll need that) will be enough to
get cvsup running for your updates.  You can get that update directly
from the FTP server, or from CVS Web.  You can also get the package
directly; you'll need to specify the path (e.g., with PACKAGEROOT or
one of the other variables documented in the ports(7) manual) or fetch
it by hand.  I can't give the exact details because you didn't mention
the version you were running, but for example the latest RELENG_6
build is at 
/[EMAIL 
PROTECTED]:/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-6-stable/net/cvsup-without-gui-16.1h_3.tbz

Good luck.

Lowell,

That did it, I'm happily updating all to the latest and greatest just  
changed s/6-stable/8-current/ and all is well.  It seems that one [or  
more] of the ftp servers is off-line because I had to cycle through a  
couple to get a connection.



Good luck


Thanks, your answer was the good luck that I needed.

  I was almost to the point of doing that but was avoiding yet
  additional unlearning and learning curves.  Been using cvsup
  too many years.

Except as noted, I have found csup a 100$ replacement -
i.e. s/cvsup/csup/ in my scripts and everythin Just Worked.
