Given the upcoming cvs deprecation in a little over a month, how about
putting a reminder in /usr/ports/UPDATING now?
Mention that cvs mirrors will be going away and point to the portsnap
and svn update methods shown in the Handbook:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports-using.html
I probably missed something.
Usually I do a minimal install,
then pull the ports tree via csup,
then install subversion, etc.
If neither csup nor subversion are
in base, then how do I get the ports
tree in the first instance, if I
forgot or intentionally didn't install
ports as part of bsdinstall?
Thanks
Anton
