And your comments aren't much help either.
In what area did you find it lacking? What information were you seeking which it did not provide? Was the information provided inaccurate?
I can't fix it if you don't tell me what's broke.

It would be good to have an example of what to do when you have already installed a port and a new version becomes available.
Like when you use the pkg_version -v command.

At the top of this article, there is a link to the effect of "if you want to just install a single port, try this...". The linked solution details installing a port without having the ports skeleton installed.
If you_do_ have the ports skeleton installed, but just want to update a single port. Here's an easy way to do it:
# as root
# (Assume cvsup server is defined in ports-supfile and the
# file otherwise in it's default state).
#
# -i is a filter pattern, starting with "ports"
# -g = no GUI
cvsup -i ports/shells/bash2 -g /usr/share/exapmles/cvsup/ports-supfile
# Thanks! -mark

Tye typing "hostname" and see what it says, then go to /ets/hosts and see if the hostname is the same....if not....change it:)

Hi,
I dont know if you want to add this to your paper or not.
I dont run a GUI so when i update I run:
cvsup -g -L 2 ports-supfile -h mirrored cvsup site
i use the -h because it overides the default host name in the supfile and I'm Lazy. :P
the -g disables the grafphical user interface (YAAY) and the -L 2 provides a more indepth verbose mode.
-enjoy

you used this command line:
cvsup -P m ports-supfile
what does the "m" character mean? I can't find it mentioned in the man or help on cvsup?
