Re: portsnap and cvsup for rebuilding world - Which one?

It's a little out of date; instead of cvsup, you use csup which is in the base system (and only supports updating the base system, hence portsnap).

That last bit is not actually correct. csup will update anything cvsup can in checkout mode, so you can check out a src tree, a ports tree, a doc tree, etc. with csup. The only thing you can't do is mirror a repository in cvs mode. So far only cvsup can do that.
