Howdy folks

I'm not a CVSup expert, however I am concerned about the ports-supfile

Kudo's to Kent for pointing out src=all.  That needs a fixin

I'm also concerned about *default base=/var/db as well

Perhaps consider a wonderful beverage and about 15 minutes of your time to carefull read the CVSup
section of the handbook

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html

Then, if you feel like I did after trying to figure out CVSup for the first time, you may find my
CVSup notes helpfull (shameless plug sorry)

http://www.isgsp.net/freebsd/index.html

I hope this helps

Take care
