See /usr/share/examples/cvsup/{,secure-}cvs-supfile:
- "prefix" should be set to a directory with enough space to hold the
repository (e.g. "/big_disk/FreeBSD-CVS").
- at the moment it needs ~800MB (src~=620MB, ports~=180MB), if you also
want doc and www it needs ~900MB.
- remove your /usr/src, set the CVSROOT variable
("/big_disk/FreeBSD-CVS") and check the source out ("cvs co src").
Add "CVS_UPDATE=yes" to your make.conf (and remove "SUP_UPDATE") and a
"make update" in /usr/src uses your private CVS repository to update the
source.
Bye,
Alexander.
