Cvsup downloads the equivalent of
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/ports/ports.tar.gz
However, the CGI index (http page you refer to) shows
pretty much the exact same ports tree I have at /usr/ports...
So, what's the discrepancy?
Plus, what's wrong with the standard tools?
#whereis foobar
/usr/ports/misc/foobar
OR
#cd /usr/ports
#make search key=foo
