You deleted a source but have to do a make to deal with that. The cvsup should have replaced this structure but not any of the real source to koffice. ruby# cd /usr/ports/editors/koffice ruby# ll total 5 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 1105 Aug 4 04:07 Makefile -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 996 Jul 4 15:07 README.html drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Aug 4 04:07 files drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Aug 4 04:07 pkg I did a cd .. and rm -rf koffice. Then I did a cvsup to ports. I ended up checking out the following structure, which is all that a cvsup of ports provides. ruby# ll total 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 1047 Sep 15 14:40 Makefile drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Sep 19 15:05 files drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Sep 19 15:05 pkg The html isn't there because I haven't re made it.
