I STONGLY suggest you read the handbook. Then, read it
again.
Then once more for good measure.

CVS is NOT hard IF you take the time to READ and LEARN.

If however you don't want to take the time to read, learn
and understand
- then stick with the packages.

You are the type of user that will download a tarball, try
to install
it, then complain that it don't work. Never mind the fact
that you have
packages and ports.

You will be the user that EXPECTS everything you download,
to run
automagically without an ounce of knowledge of how to use
the powerfull
OS and it's tools you seemed to have muddled through
installing, right
at your fingertips.

I hate users looking for the shortcuts.

Funny. I didn't see that at all in the original email.  What
I saw was a 
genuine misunderstanding.

He was asking about using CVSUP to track ports on a one by
one basis. 
What he didn't understand is that a person really wants to
CVSUP the 
whole ports tree.  It's a fair misunderstanding if one
starts with an 
FTP-ish RPM-ish mindset.  John Chen's answer was
appropriate.

To Efren I add the following.  You may also want to read up
on 'refuse' 
files as documented in the cvsup(1) man page.  I don't
recommend using 
them though.

Later,
Jason

Jason, David, Chen and the others, !=Chris,  
  
I don't lose my time to answering him because I
wouldn't have time to read the CVSup man pages as
Chris suggests, jajajajaja  
  
thanks for your help....

Strange as his style may seem, he is 100% right about one
thing:
You should definitely take the time to read the relevant
Handbook
sections.  Especially the parts that describe "The
Ports and the
Packages".

If you still have questions after reading the relevant
Handbook
bits, then please feel free to ask here for any details.
