I have a laptop at home ruunning freebsd 5.1

Since my server at work is behind the firewall and the folks have blocked the port 2401, I can not run cvsup on the server at work.

But I can do that at home and keep the laptop upto date with the latest port collections.

Now if I tar the entire prot directory of the laptop and move that file to the server at work and untar it there.

I did that already and I'm getting alot of errors when trying to install any ports.

Here is the message I get.

There is a COMMENTFILE in this port

thanks


 
Install cvs on the laptop and use that as your work desktop's cvs server?

Regards.
 
But how can I do that.

Is there way "readme file" or something somewhere.

How can I have the servers at work point to the laptop for cvs.

thanks

Port: cvsbook-1.21
Path: /usr/ports/devel/cvsbook

Maint: ports@FreeBSD.org
