CVS is Deprecated at FreeBSD.org (and so is cvsup!)

Today I'm starting doing my server preventive maintenance. I usually using cvsup to update package in FreeBSD and today, I received error:
So, the solution is using portsnap.
Here is the step :
1. Download a compressed snapshot of the Ports Collection
# portsnap fetch
2.When running Portsnap for the first time, extract the snapshot
# portsnap extract
3. cd
-> since it will reset your node point.

Then you can still use the port upgrade command as usual :)
