I don't know about the most stable STABLE, but the ports question is pretty easy. Create a supfile (go ahead and base it off /usr/src/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile) and add a job to /etc/crontab to cvsup the ports tree periodically. If you don't want to mess with crontab, you could write a shell script that just executes 'cvsup -g -L 2 file_name' and put it in /etc/periodic/[daily|weekly|monthly] Steve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
