Actually, I believe you can use CVSup to fetch the already-built and
rendered website; you can do this by getting the 'current' release of
the 'www' collection, e.g.:

<quote>
*default host=cvsup.de.FreeBSD.org
*default base=/usr
*default prefix=/home/roam/tmp/web
*default release=current
*default delete use-rel-suffix

*default compress

www
</quote>

The operative option is 'release=current'.

Hope this helps!

G'luck,
Peter
