You actually don't _have_ to use CSV. You can install SVN from binary packages via the new "pkg" command (pkgng instead of traditional pkg_* tools). Or you can obtain a ports tree first with portsnap or from the installation media you've been using, install svn from this, and then continue using svn to obtain updates for ports (and src, if you want). However, you're right about the fact that svn isn't part of the base installation (yet?) and it doesn't fully integrate with what worked with CVS for many years. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
