   The current ports tree <strong>may not</strong> be used with the previous
   release once the switch to tracking OpenBSD-current occurs.  This is due
   to changes, typically with the port make process, that require code
   based upon the OpenBSD-current source tree.   To get the latest version of
   the ports tree that will work with the previous release:
   <ul>
   <li>Determine the cut-off date.   Example, the cut-off between 2.7 and
       2.8 was indicated by a message to ports@openbsd.org on Aug 16, 2000.
   <li>Check out a version of the ports tree as of the cut-off date.  The
       steps are (assuming your ports tree came from anoncvs and live in
       /usr/ports):
   <pre>
       $ cd /usr/ports
       $ cvs -q -d anoncvs@some.anon.server:/cvs up -D 08/15/00 -Pd
   </pre>
       Change the name of the server and cut-off date to fit your needs.
   </ul>
