If you rarely need more than the latest version of the ports tree, then
portsnap(8) is worth strong consideration. If you have an existing setup
that's working (such as csup/cvsup/anonymous cvs), you can stick with
that until the svn-to-cvs export stops. Otherwise, use svn.
I obviously wasn't very clear. I'm a port maintainer. I need to update
one of my ports. I used to do this by checking out the port into a
purpose-created directory in which I would use cvs to make changes and
test. After everything checked out, I would submit the diff.
Now cvs isn't working, so how, as a port maintainer, do I check out a
single port so I can update it and submit it in a PR?
