If I have anything stale in my /usr/ports tree, it is because it was updated between some changes that deleted ports and left the ../work/ with old comments in them. FWIW, I went through them last night and there were 145 ports that had either a Makefile and no ../work or a ../work and no Makefile. A current cvsup of ports-all from my local cvs-mirror works. It was the system that was cvsuped almost everyday that had massive problems. I think the cvs changes that deleted these ports was modified/eliminated too soon.
