Your cvsupfile should look like this:

*default  tag=3DRELENG_5_4_0_RELEASE
*default  host=3Dcvsup3.freebsd.org
*default  base=3D/usr
*default  prefix=3D/usr
*default  release=3Dcvs
*default  compress
*default  delete use-rel-suffix
src-all
doc-all
ports-all tag=3D.   <----- Note the period

That will update your local /usr/src, /usr/doc and /usr/ports. Ports always=
=20
need to be tagged head otherwise cvsup will just delete your ports tree.
Change *default host to a mirror close to you. You don't need www unless yo=
u=20
plan on mirroring the freebsd website, nor do you need cvs-root.

Enjoy,

Beech
