 Hi folks,

 I want to understand why my ports tree is wiped off when i change the
 tag value to
 RELENG_5_2_0_RELEASE
 or
 RELENG_5
 or
 RELENG_5_2

 in order to get the ports updating. I followed the instructions of
 the bsd manual assuming to stick to the latest stable version/branch.

 Exerpt of the ports sup_file

 # IMPORTANT: Change the next line to use one of the CVSup mirror
 sites # listed at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/mirrors.html.
 *default host=cvsup2.FreeBSD.org
 *default base=/usr
 *default prefix=/usr
 *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_5_2_0_RELEASE
 *default delete use-rel-suffix


 does that mean there is no upgrade of the ports. I assume not because
 the whole tree is wiped off.

That is what it means. The only tag for ports is tag=.. They may build 
packages for 5.2-release but cvsup only knows about tag=. for 
ports-all.
