>Description:
	The cvsupit package, as retrieved from the handbook on
	http://www.freebsd.org/ (and presumably just about
	everywhere else) contains an older version of cvsup. Not
	only does this wipe out one's already installed cvsup (if
	one has one) but this older version of cvsup isn't
	compatible with that presently used on the freebsd CVSup
	servers, making cvsup impossible after "adding" cvsupit.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Download and pkg_add.
>Fix:
	Upgrade the binary packages to use the current cvsup.
	Might also be a good idea to make this package not
	overwrite one's installed /usr/local/bin/cvsup. If that's
	not reasonable, the documentation needs to be modified to
	note that this package will destroy one's installed copy
	of cvsup.

 The FreeBSD handbook, http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/cvsup.html , points
 to an outdated version of cvsupit:
 ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/development/CVSup/cvsupit.tgz
 
 If a user follows the instructions in the handbook and does a pkg_add
 with this package, the user will install an outdated version of cvsupit
 which will install an outdated version of cvsup.  The outdated version
 of cvsup will not work with the current FreeBSD cvsup servers.
 
 Can this package be updated so that it contains the same contents
 as:
 ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-stable/packages/All/cvsupit-3.1.tgz
 
 That way, following the instructions in the handbook will install a
 correct version of cvsupit and cvsup.

 Changing the link in the documentation is a valid solution.
 However, it will not help people with older FreeBSD distributions who
 read the handbook which comes with their system and then try
 to follow the instructions regarding cvsupit (this happened to me a few
 days ago).  Would it be possible to change the link in the document,
 *AND* change the package in development/CVSup?

 This PR should be reassigned from keramida to freebsd-ports-bugs,
 as keramida is on leave of absence from the project for a a year for
 his military service.
