As stated many times in the past, cvsup is not going into base due to its dependency on modula-3. FreeBSD went through a great deal of pain and trouble to wean itself off having perl in the base system, for reasons that have been adequately documented and argued over. We are not going to go backwards. In any case modula-3 does not even work on all of our architectures. As for your other ports in this list, there is a meta-port that will install them all, you know. > The thought is actually quite nice, but the logical groups aren't > disjoint on any count.

True, but we're talking about what can be done in hours instead of in weeks or months, here. mcl
