There are several ways to make /usr/ports disapear: 1. rm -rf /usr/ports/* 2. cvs update -R RELENG_6 3. cvsup with an branch tag in the supfile for ports. Problem 2 & 3 are similar, as the ports tree is not branched. This causes cvs or cvsup to delete the ports since there is no branch with that tag (i.e. RELENG_6). Instead you need to specify a release tag (i.e. RELEASE_6_1_0) or no tag (gets you the latest ports changes). If your using cvsup, post your supfile and someone will help you fix it.
