Eventually, I hope this page exists merely to announce it's own deprecation- once there is a resolution accepted the %%FreeBSD%% community at large. | This page is being linked to by various *BSD news sources and user groups, (Patrick %%McEvoy%% et. al.), we'll try to keep this page up to date with the current state of this issue.

| For %%FreeBSD%% users, (particularly systems administrators and integrators), fetching source has always been easy - via either c[v]sup or CTM. Until recently, these tools could also be used to fetch the ports collection.
