There are a lot of answers to this question, and things are in the midst of changing. The as close to official answer as possible is: - use portsnap for most use cases - use svn directly if you need custom patches to the ports tree - use CTM if you prefer getting patches by email (this is a rarer use case) - I'm not certain about the status if ports-mtm/portshaker - but it should be using one of the first two methods. everything else: cvsup, csup, CVS is *going away* and is considered a *legacy* method. If you don't already use them, don't start. please keep in mind that this is all in flux at the moment and even the handbook may be *wrong.* The ports and documentation team are working hard to get this all sorted out, but it is a time of change. :) -- Eitan Adler _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
