I use cvsup to update src/ports/doc. You need to add options to /etc/make.conf to use "make update" Here is my cvsup related options in "/etc/make.conf" - SUP_UPDATE=yes SUP=/usr/local/bin/cvsup # <- default installation for cvsup SUPFLAGS=-g -L 2 # options for cvsup SUPHOST=cvsup.uk.freebsd.org # the server to use SUPFILE=path+filename to your src_all sup file PORTSSUPFILE=path+filename to ports_all sup file DOCSUPFILE=path+filename to doc_all sup file - Try man make.conf for more details. Good luck -- Kind regards Abu Khaled
