    I'm stuck with a mouse bug (freezes while typing text) and I was told
    updating latest XFree86 might help.

    Ok. I'm running 4.8 release. How should I update my ports-tree?
    I tried cvsup.

    Manual says there is only a current branch for the ports collection.
    (cvsup: tag=.) If I give tag=RELENG_4, it only deletes the port
    directories.

    Is it possible to update the ports tree to stable branch at all, i.e.
    "current" 4 stable?

    I have only a modem connection and I would like to avoid updating
    everything and would like to stay within stable-branch.

    Thanks for any help!!
