The difference is that csup is written in C and included in the base.
The only lacking feature in csup is that it doesn't work in checkout
mode, which shouldn't be a problem for your average use.
You have it backwards. csup _only_ works in checkout mode, what it
can't do is mirror a repository. This is fine for the average FreeBSD
user however, since checking out the current version of the src or
ports tree is what the vast majority do anyway.
You're right, my apologies. Not working in checkout mode defeats the
purpose for the vast majority of the people using it. I guess I just
wasn't thinking straight.
I may be wrong about checkout mode, but that was a caveat when it went
into the tree IIRC. If that is no longer the case I apologize for the
misinformation.
If you are going to offer advice on the lists, please take the time to
verify that what you're saying is correct. Otherwise it's just a waste
of time for all concerned.
I'm picking on your post here a little because it's a good example of
a disturbing trend, please don't take it personally.
Don't worry, I'm not taking it personally. It just goes to show that I
should think twice and double check things before sending anything. :)
Thank you for the clarification.
