Tks You can choose to update only a part of the ports collection, either by using cvsup refuse files or by specifying "sub"-collections in the cvsup file. See the end of the /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile for those. However 9 of 10 posts on ports@ regarding failed `make index` are because the poster has a partially cvsup'ed ports collection and because of that he runs into trouble. The time difference is not big; the INDEX-5 file on your system keeps track of ports and their dependencies and is by various pkg_* directly and port* tools indirectly. Also if you want a fast cvsup use `cvsup -s supfile` ; "-s" wound make cvsup to do less checks on you machine and the time will be significantly smaller; but from time to time do a "complete" cvsup (I do it before building the index). -- IOnut Unregistered ;) FreeBSD "user" ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I use 3 cvsup files: one fot the ports, one for the docs and one for the
system (src). This way I can update ports and docs more often and be
sure the system had known-to-be-working sources (I'm on -CURRENT).
My /etc/ports-supfile is:
*default host=cvsup3.FreeBSD.org
*default base=/usr
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=.
*default delete use-rel-suffix
ports-all
(Don't refuse categories in ports, when you'll try to `make index` I
will fail from time to time ).
In the /etc/current-supfile the line ports-all is replaced by src-all
and in /etc/doc-all by doc-all
If you don't follow -current you will want to change the dot from
"tag=." in your branch.

Well, in /usr/ports :) It is a new thing so it will appear after you
cvsup.
