Announcing the end of port CVS
From the official FreeBSD announce mailing list :
Code:
The development of FreeBSD ports is done in Subversion nowadays. For the sake of compatibility a Subversion to CVS exporter is in place which has some limitations. For CVSup mirroring cvsup based on Ezm3 is used which breaks regularly especially on amd64 and with Clang and becomes more and more unmaintainable. For those reasons by February 28th 2013 the FreeBSD ports tree will no longer be exported to CVS. Therefore ports tree updates via CVS or CVSup will no longer available after that date. All users who use CVS or CVSup to update the ports tree are encouraged to switch to portsnap(8) [1] or for users which need more control over their ports collection checkout use Subversion directly: % svn co https://svn0.us-west.FreeBSD.org/ports/head /usr/ports and update a checked out repository using: % cd /usr/ports && svn update Advanced users, or larger sites, might consider setting up a local svn mirror. Both for people doing direct checkouts and for people wanting to use a local mirror, they can access one of the public subversion servers [2]. How to set up a Subversion mirror using svnsync(1) is described in the FreeBSD Committers Guide [3]. Initial seeds to set up a svnsync mirror are provided on the FreeBSD FTP mirror sites under /pub/FreeBSD/development/subversion/.

In a reply to a message to the freebsd-ports mailing list, a short howto was posted (today or yesterday). that should be helpful to anyone new to svn and not simply using portsnap. It should be useful to almost anyone using FreeBSD, maybe even pc-bsd, to save it somewhere for reference (though I've not tried the commands yet to test ease-of-use etc...)
... Setup .svn on one box. Will probably thumdrive packages from there to other machines...
