I have cvsup-mirror running on one of my machines mirroring the entire cvsup collection. Normally I update the entire ports tree but I tried to update just ports-editors. It appeared to work. This is the cvsupfile I ran: *default host=192.168.0.20 *default base=/usr *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs *default tag=. *default delete use-rel-suffix ports-editors I did not get the error message you mentioned until I changed the collection name to something bogus. e.g. I changed ports-editors to ports-editors-junk. This makes me think you are not mirroring, or not mirroring correctly, the ports tree. The supfile that goes with my cvsup-mirror looks like this: $ more /usr/local/etc/cvsup/supfile # # Standard supfile for CVSup FreeBSD mirrors. # *default delete use-rel-suffix umask=002 cvs-all release=cvs prefix=prefixes/FreeBSD.cvs gnats release=current prefix=prefixes/FreeBSD-gnats.current www release=current prefix=prefixes/FreeBSD-www.current mail-archive release=current prefix=prefixes/FreeBSD-mail.current distrib release=self prefix=prefixes/distrib.self $ I weould check to see what you have in the spot where I have cvs-all. There is a discussion in section A.5.5 of the FBSD Handbook that talks about the various file collections. It is at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html You should note the warning about the need to ALWAYS update ports-base. Even if you are not updating the whole ports tree. Cheers...
