Well, that's the fun part ;)
I have the handbook and studied the man pages for CVSup, and this is the result
of my cvsupfile (any recommendations welcome offcourse ;):

[diabolique] asmodai $ more cvsupfile 
*default tag=.
*default release=cvs
*default host=cvsup.internat.freebsd.org
*default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup
*default prefix=/src
*default delete
*default use-rel-suffix
*default compress
src-all
cvs-crypto
doc-all
ports-archivers
ports-base
ports-comms
ports-devel
ports-editors
ports-lang
ports-mail
ports-net
ports-news
ports-security
ports-shells
ports-sysutils
ports-textproc
ports-www
ports-x11

When I do a cvsup -L2 cvsupfile the update goes well... And the following make
world goes a LOOOONG end before giving errors. So IMHO if the mode I am using
isn't correct I should have gotten errors a lot earlier in the process. For
reference I use 'time make world -j4 | tee make-world.year.month.day.try.txt'
to log my attempts at making world.

While I was typing this mail another make world just failed, but at a different
point. Looking at the size it's about 400k larger than the first one. So I
think that the workaround (if it really is one that is) I used worked. I did a
mkdir /usr/share/examples/etc/Attic and cp'd ttys,v into it.

time needed:

9190.99s real  5767.59s user  1207.92s system

I will take a look at yer page though John, thanks for the pointer.

Regards,
