Doug Barton responded: > Anonymous users can also use the svn protocol. Does that mean svn will be brought into the base system as cvs, csup and portsnap already are? (I hope so) Currently I use portsnap for the ports tree and csup for base-system source and doc (/usr/src and /usr/doc). I believe cvs is still the primary checkout and update method with NetBSD for base-system source and pkgsrc. Pkgsrc is NetBSD's version of FreeBSD ports framework but also ported to other, mostly (quasi-)Unix OSes including even FreeBSD. I am not prepared to advise for or against using NetBSD pkgsrc with FreeBSD, but the possibility is there; I haven't tried it (yet). I am also not sufficiently familiar with the internals of cvs and svn to say which is better and why (or git or mercurial for that matter).
