CVSUP

[Adam Stroud]

No, that was fine.  I understand what you are saying.  I was actually thinking 
that myself, I was just wondering if anyone had any easier way.  It's not a 
big deal really, I just change the default install dirs on one port.  That 
means that I change all of 4 lines in a Makefile, I was just wondering.  
Thanks anyway man.

Cheers

> * Back up your ports tree (mv /usr/ports /usr/ports.old).
> * cd /usr && cvs -d /usr/local/portcvs checkout ports
> * If all went well, you have a ports tree.
