cvsup and portupgrade

[Andrew Robinson]

Hi all,

I'm confused about the connection between cvsup and portupgrade.  When I run 
portupgrade, it seems to ftp the code to my machine from a remote server.  
But, I was under the impression that I was maintaining an up-to-date copy of 
the source code via regular use of cvsup and the example code in the 
ports-supfile.  Can anyone clarify for me?  What would happen if I ignored 
cvsup altogether?

Thanks!

Andrew
