Ok, thanks to many of you for helping me get cvsup on the STABLE branch running!!! It's so "kewl" to be so up to date! (Sorry, these young techies running around these days are having a bad influence on my vocabulary :) Anyway, I want to use cvsup to keep up with the ports I am using too. I understand that ports are effectively CURRENT, not STABLE, that's OK. I've also run cvsup on the ports-all collection, and got a whole update of the ports tree. So, the cvsup bit is done - no problem. But, what now? I have a number (15 or so) of packages/ports installed. Do I need to run "make" for each of my ports again? Or is there something simpler that will know which ports I have installed and do them all together for me? Also, mergemaster is a beauty when making the world - is there anything similar for the ports? PS: I have looked through the Handbook and found all the info on running cvsup - but I'm not seeing "what to do next". If I've missed it just point me at the chapter/appendix number. Thanks. Patrick.
