I read a lot about cvsup and other stuff, but it seems very confusing to me. I cannot understand the whole picture.
My question is: how can i "import" a *single* port ?
You cannot do this safely, because how do you know which other "single ports" must also be updated along with it in order for it to be buildable?
I'm relatively new so please bear with me....
I have installed 5.3-RELEASE ... and did a 'make install clean' for all ports of interest. Then firefox and thunderbird (for example) came out with v1.0. So I did a 'make deinstall clean' for each. Downloaded the newest version of the contents of those directories from freebsd.org (using browser b4 I deinstalled and placed in temp dir) and copied it in there myself. The did a 'make install clean' for each. But... given your comments above... am I headed for disaster down the road if I continue to 'upgrade' ports in this fasion?
