Yes, I have been through all that, and I do right now just do a couple
of the specific branches, but even that is more than I really want.  I'm
talking about being able to do something like

ports-security-openssl
ports-security-openssh
ports-net-bind9
ports-mail-postfix
ports-www-apache13

And have it just updates those specific apps, not the whole branch.  I
realize that I can just download the individual ports I want, and
install them, without using cvsup, but I like being able to leave it in
my cron, and have them update automatically, and tell me when there are
new versions of just the apps I run, not every mail app out there.

Thanks.

-Daniel

Check out the FreeBSD handbook.  The section on using CVSup talks about
the various tags you can use for ports...they are intuitive.  So instead
of ports-all tag, you might put "ports-mail" in your cvsup file.
