This is what I've done when cvsup didn't properly update an older ports tree.... mv ports ports.old ; cvsup ports-supfile Causing, as you guessed, cvsup to pull down a freshly current ports tree. My only concern would be if I wanted to come back at a later date and modify a port which was installed from ports.old.... would the pkg_* suite still be able to recognize and deal with this? Are there other dependency issues which one should be aware?
