Using the great tools on Marcus' site and the CVS tree there it's been painless and extremely easy to do. Now with the release of 2.6 I've decided I don't think I want to continue running the bleeding edge development version of the (?2.7?) series and would like to just stick with 2.6.0 and the standard ports tree updates to it. Now my question is - is doing so as simple as just CVSuping my ports tree with the standard FreeBSD tree and not running the marcusmerge script afterwards anymore? Are there any caveats I should be aware of before I do that? Do I need to do anything special before hopping off the development train? Tuck and roll? Thanks all, --roop
