I'm a port maintainer. I need to update one of my ports. I used to do this by checking out the port into a purpose-created directory in which I would use cvs to make changes and test. After everything checked out, I would submit the diff. Now cvs isn't working, so how, as a port maintainer, do I check out a single port so I can update it and submit it in a PR? -- Paul Schmehl, Senior Infosec Analyst As if it wasn't already obvious, my opinions are my own and not those of my employer. ******************************************* "It is as useless to argue with those who have renounced the use of reason as to administer medication to the dead."
