Hello.
I think I should correct myself as what I found that way was unexpected, even
after aside from portsnap.

First of all Thank you very much as it was unobvious to know that from manuals
like:
http://cvsbook.red-bean.com/cvsbook.htm
PV> Sure, I know I can do it with (x)VCS.
This one was wrong: ports are available from CVS only. No svn, p4, etc.
PV> But hell yes, having VCS before such a situation to happen is good. "Just
if we
This one seem insufficient now. I checked out ports from 'anoncvs':
cvs -d anon...@anoncvs.tw.freebsd.org:/home/ncvs co ports
and there is no backup for the deleted ports of my interest. I mean for
example I can not get the directory of x11/wmfstatus as it is deleted at this
moment.
I suppose such a download is not the all what I assume it to be: backup of
each and every port's versions till the moment being. So I just
rsync rsync://mirrorsite/pub/FreeBSD/development/FreeBSD-CVS/ports ./
and later I can just 'cvs export' any directory for any date from there,
right? I suppose I'd put it on a double-layer dvd, is it possible to export
from there? It is noted that:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/hubs/mirror-requirements.html
5.4G is sufficient.
Another question wth cvs is: can I get the particular port in its state of
N(=1,2, ...) changes ago? It seems to be possible only to look up particular
version for the particular file and checkout it but not for the directory
(assuming the port is a directory). At the least how to look up the list of
dates when the directory was changed should be great.
