Given the example supfile: *default tag=. *default host=cvsup99.FreeBSD.org *default prefix=/usr *default base=/var/db *default release=cvs delete use-rel-suffix compress src-all This will update to freeBSD-CURRENT http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/current- stable.html#CURRENT How would I modify this supfile to update to 5.4-RELEASE? Thanks Eoghan
