6b4f60d71c Update writing style examples, replacing cvsup with svn. 2013-01-05 01:19:09 +00:00

f01a8af5d3 Remove the 'CVSup Method' of updating the Ports Collection. 
Update two package names from cvsup to colordiff.
While here, change 'pkg remove' command to 'pkg delete' for consistency
with the manual, although 'pkg remove' works as well.

65cf66cbaf - The nsupdate(8) man page no longer exists: nsupdate(1) replaces it. Change 
the reference in the "network servers" Handbook chapter. [1]
- Add nsupdate(1) to the man page references file, without removing the old
one so that translations don't break.
