freebsd stable - Feb 2005 - [Somewhat OT]: Is There A CVSUP Type Update For ...

I know this is a bit outside the -stable charter, but I'm hoping someone
here can respond (privately is fine):  Is there a way to do cvsup type
updates of the 'packages' tree or am I forever forced to do bulk
ftps every few weeks.  IOW, I want to mirror 'packages', in this
case for i386, and I am looking for suggestions for the best way to do
this...

TIA,

There are several mirroring packages in the ports collection:

Scroll down to the FTP category.
