Hi Paul, portsnap is fine and I haven't heard any rant it will go away. cvsup was a different part, with the switch to SVN every commit was also staged in the background to CVS to keep cvsup alive. Sice cvs was also removed from the base OS there was no longer a benefit to keep cvsup running. https://wiki.freebsd.org/CvsIsDeprecated > If so, is there a way to use svn to only update those ports that have changed > since the last update? > I've been using svn for a while to work on port updates.

Is there > a similar utility that uses svn instead? simply go to the root of your portstree and fire the command `svn up', but watch the output for conflicts marked with a capital 'C'. Running from time to time `svn cleanup' will keep remove dead metadata from the .svn directory. In case you prefer portsnap for your tree and svn only for maintain your ports thats also fine. There is a way to do sparse svn checkouts (only ports you maintain) # sparse checkout $ cd $space $ svn checkout --depth empty $svn/url my_svn_workdir # checkout my ports $ cd my_svn_workdir # checkout all top $cat dirs with maintained port $ svn up --set-depth empty devel dns math net net-mgmt security sysutils www x11-toolkits # checkout maintained ports $ grep $my@maintainer.email /usr/ports/INDEX-8 | cut -d\| -f 2 | sed 's;/usr/ports/;;' | xargs svn up This way you can use portsnap for port building and svn to hack the ports you maintain. After your patches are committed simply use `svn up' in the workdir (also before you start hacking a port to limit conflicts) > Is portmaster going away any time soon?
