You don't want to do it this way because stale directories and patches will not be deleted, causing any number of problems. If you do download the tarball, you want to wipe /usr/ports first, maybe keeping only the distfiles you expect to need, and only then unpack the new one. > > On Wed, 17 Nov 1999, Ariel Burbaickij wrote: > > > > >How can I cvsup ports-all so that I have new entries after it?(e.g. kde > > >Tck and so on).

I don't quite get the question... cvsup'ing ports-all should leave you with all that's new in the right place and all that's old gone (and if it's not there, there's no port for it...).
