CVSup newbies question
Hello everyone, I have following the instruction on http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html to install cvsup on my computer. I think CVSup is installed correctly and running smoothly. I am using CVSup to update my port trees. Does that mean I will get all the latest ports in /usr/ports/ after I run cvsup?

Remember, though, that the word port, in this sense, just means port skeleton - a set of files which tell your system how to obtain the source code (the distfiles) for a particular program, and how to compile and install it. cvsup will not put the distfiles themselves into /usr/ports. That will only happen when you cd into one of the directories under /usr/ports and issue a 'make' command. -Chris ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It just means that your port tree will have the information needed to build the latest versions of the ports.
