I didn't cvsup, I downloaded the tar.gz file from
www.FreeBSD.org/ports/security.html

How do I get the ports-base? Is there one for each port, each category or
one for each release? What does a ports-base look like?  The handbook (and
the Greg Lehey book) says to download and untar the skeleton and run make.

Thank you for your time.

Ken
