Not only does this wipe out one's already installed cvsup (if one has one) but this older version of cvsup isn't compatible with that presently used on the freebsd CVSup servers, making cvsup impossible after "adding" cvsupit. >How-To-Repeat: Download and pkg_add. >Fix: Upgrade the binary packages to use the current cvsup. Might also be a good idea to make this package not overwrite one's installed /usr/local/bin/cvsup. If that's not reasonable, the documentation needs to be modified to note that this package will destroy one's installed copy of cvsup. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
