Packages are pre-compiled so there is little ability to configure them,
should you need to. Although I still know many people who prefer using
packages. Do not use sysinstall to accomplish this. Also, there is no need
to 'download or update' your 'packages'. Simply follow the below command to
install the current package.
# pkg_add -r some_package
I would recommend ports and cvs to anyone.
Below is a config to install cvsup and run it to update your ports
collection. Remember though, ports are not precompiled and you will
actually need to move into the /usr/ports/whatever_port/whatever_program dir
to install them.
# pkg_add -r cvsup-without-gui
# cp /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile /root/ports-supfile
Or forget about making a copy, and do directly:
# cvsup -g -L2 -h cvsup.foo.bar /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile
