<para>The <application>CVSup</application> utility can fetch a
clean copy of the documentation sources, using
the <filename>/usr/share/examples/cvsup/doc-supfile</filename>
file as a configuration template. The default update host is
set to a placeholder value in <filename>doc-supfile</filename>,
but &man.cvsup.1; accepts a host name through the command line,
so the documentation sources can be fetched from one of the
<application>CVSup</application> servers by typing:</para>

<para>Future updates of the documentation sources may be fetched

<para>After checking out the sources, an alternative way of
updating the documentation is supported by the

<makevar>SUP_UPDATE</makevar>, <makevar>SUPHOST</makevar> and
<makevar>DOCSUPFILE</makevar> in the

<para>Setting the <makevar>SUPHOST</makevar>

with <literal>?=</literal> permits overriding them in the

<para>Notice that the default target directory
differs from the directory used by the

because we are installing a port, and ports are
usually installed under the <filename
