The ports tree isn't versioned like /usr/src; 'portsnap fetch' will always fetch the latest copy from cvs mainline, and the only way to go back to a branch (e.g RELENG_5_5_0) is by using csup, which you would only really want to do if you're using a release of FreeBSD which has gone out of support, such as 5.x. -- Bruce Cran _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
