>Description:

cd /usr/ports
make update
Result: "Error: Please define either SUP_UPDATE or CVS_UPDATE first."

OK, I'm an admin.  I'll go dig up the damn cvsup info and jump the hoops, but
this really ought to be trivial.  If I do a make update from ports, I want
to be walked through it automagically and never have to think about it ever
again.  When it does the walk it could easily create /usr/ports/updatescript
that gets run every time I do make update.  If I want to edit it, or toss it,
I can.  But please, do something automagically for me.

Yeah, I'm a whiner.  But this should be trivial.

>How-To-Repeat:

cd /usr/ports
make update
