The installer (/stand/sysinstall) can unpack the src distribution wholesale or piecemeal (see "source collections" below) into your /usr/src. cvsup(1) or cvs(1) can be used to both check out base system sources and keep them up-to-date. CVS is part of the base FreeBSD system, whereas CVSup is a port. Otherwise, however, CVSup is generally superior; it is faster, generates less network load and disk I/O, and understands source collections. | The installer (/stand/sysinstall) can unpack the src distribution wholesale or piecemeal (see "source collections" below) into your /usr/src. cvsup(1) or cvs(1) can be used to both check out base system sources and keep them up-to-date.

* <tt>poudriere ports -c</tt> | |||
Update it: | |||
* <tt>poudriere ports -u</tt> | |||
But <tt>portupgrade</tt> is then still used to actually rebuild ports. | |||
