Ron,I have run into a strange problem with ports and cvsup that you may be running into. For some unknown reason I can run a cvsup and it appears that everything has run fine however I show that nothing needs to be updated. Now here is the kicker; If I delete the ports directory (or move it out of the way) and run the cvsup again, all of a sudden there are ten or more ports that need updating. This has happened more than once. I wish someone could explain that problem to me, especially since I never remember that happening on the 4.11 release.
