:cvsup using ports supfile in /usr/share/examples/cvsup, after you do this
:try to make the port for proftpd.
In order to install the 'cvsup' program, install the net/cvsup-bin port.
I recommend that people *not* try to install cvsup from sources, because
it brings up a whole truckload full of other junk that you just don't need.
cd /usr/ports/net/cvsup-bin
make; make install; make clean
After that, the easiest way to keep your ports tree in sync is to create
a cronjob that runs cvsup on the ports-supfile examples file as-is ( you
do not have to edit the ports-supfile ). Once a week is good:
as root, crontab -e, then add:
22 5 * * 0 cvsup -g -L 2 -h cvsup.freebsd.org /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile
Make sure root email is forwarded to your emailbox so you get the weekly
cvsup status mail.
