Thanks - but i'm in troubles with that. I wanted to update only /ports/sysutils directory so i made those changes to sup-file: *default host=3Dcvsup2.FreeBSD.org *default base=3D/usr *default prefix=3D/usr *default release=3Dcvs tag=3DRELENG_4 *default delete use-rel-suffix and=20 ports-base #ports-archivers #ports-astro .... ports-sysutils So i run 'cvsup changed_ports_supfile'. What i got - it just deleted all the files int the /ports/ports-base/name_of_port & /ports/ports-sysutils/name_of_port - only README.html's have left in those directories... I reinstalled ports again now. :( Do i need to clean /usr/sup directory after this mess and run it again or i do something wrong?
