Instead of 1), 2) and 3), you can do all in one
command:

 # cvsup -h another.cvsup.host \
          /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile

The advantage is that if the ports-supfile itself
is updated, you'll use the updated version next time,
without any need for copying and re-editing the file.

Rob.
