When updating the ports, I normally do the following:
rm -r /usr/ports
csup -L 2 -h cvsup.FreeBSD.org /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile
This however takes rather long, about 20 mins on stock hardware. Is there a way to exclude certain ports from being updated, such as games and print? (4 Replies)

GPE-ANNOUNCE(1) gpe-announce GPE-ANNOUNCE(1)NAME
gpe-announce - program to announce alarms to the user
SYNOPSIS
gpe-announce
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the gpe-announce.
This manual page was written for the Debian(TM) distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.
gpe-announce announces alarms set by gpe-calendar and gpe-clock to the user in the G Palmtop Environment
OPTIONS
gpe-announce "alarm text"
The text displayed by the alarm box can be specified as a quoted string on the command line.
Further arguments are ignored due to problems with the upstream gstreamer support.
AUDIO SUPPORT
To allow audio sounds, ensure that /dev/mixer exists and that no other processes are using /dev/dsp (e.g. a music player like rhythmbox,
even when not playing, will make gpe-announce think that the audio device is busy).
You may need to load the snd_pcm_oss kernel driver for /dev/mixer to appear:
$ sudo modprobe snd_pcm_oss
