    There is no tag called RELENG_5_3 in the ports try so it will cause
    everything to be deleted. RELENG_5_3 only applies to the /usr/src tree.
    Just use . for a tag for ports which gets the latest ones.
    RELENG_5_3_RELEASE might work to retrieve the exact set of ports that
    shipped with the cds, but I'd recommend to just get the latest with all
    the security patches.

    I sense much NT in you.
    NT leads to Bluescreen.
    Bluescreen leads to downtime.
    Downtime leads to suffering.
    NT is the path to the darkside.
    Powerful Unix is.
