      ACTION REQUIRED
      You are using a ports file that originated from CVS!!
      The FreeBSD project has switched from CVS to SubVersion.
      This CVS repository is NO LONGER UPDATED!  If you see this
      message then your tree is STALE and you need to follow
      the update instructions to receive any more updates.
      Original announcement:
      http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2012-September/078099.html
      Reminder:
      http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-announce/2013-January/001451.html
      UPDATE INSTRUCTIONS:
      http://wiki.freebsd.org/CvsIsDeprecated

This is the FreeBSD Ports Collection.  For an easy to use
WEB-based interface to it, please see:

	http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports

For general information on the Ports Collection, please see the
FreeBSD Handbook ports section which is available from:

	http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports.html
		for the latest official version
	or:
	The ports(7) manual page (man ports).

These will explain how to use ports and packages.

If you would like to search for a port, you can do so easily by
saying (in /usr/ports):


	make search name="<name>"
	or:
	make search key="<keyword>"

which will generate a list of all ports matching <name> or <keyword>.
make search also supports wildcards, such as:

	make search name="gtk*"

For information about contributing to FreeBSD ports, please see the Porter's
Handbook, available at:

	http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/

NOTE:  This tree will GROW significantly in size during normal usage!
The distribution tar files can and do accumulate in /usr/ports/distfiles,
and the individual ports will also use up lots of space in their work
subdirectories unless you remember to "make clean" after you're done
building a given port.  /usr/ports/distfiles can also be periodically
cleaned without ill-effect.

cleaned without ill-effect, though if you don't have the original
distribution tarball(s) for something on CDROM then you will need to pull
it all over your network connection again if you ever try to build the
associated port.

@Remove the GUIDELINES file, which is replaced by section 4.3 of the
handbook a long time ago.

Add a small README.  It just refers refers people to section 4.2 and
4.3 of the handbook for now.  It will be replaced with the all-dancing
all-singing complete subdirectory-describin', tellin'-the-user-exactly-
what-to-do version after 2.1 is out and I get some time!
