Hi. I've done the following: ran a 3.4-stable system satisfactorilly, wanted to switch to 4.x various attempts to upgrade 4.x failed using CVS and make world re-installed using ISO 4.1 image from ftp.freebsd.org by booting from CD and leaving the filesystem intact but 're-installing' the system. installed additional packages using /stand/sysinstall and all that worked; 12# uname -a FreeBSD messenger 4.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.1-RELEASE #0: Sun Dec 17 18:12:40 CET 2000 root@messenger:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 Altough the system provides me with samba and inet services, I then wanted to proceed to further upgrade my system to the STABLE branch, because I still couldn't get IPFilter installed. using the following cvsup as such cvsup -g -L 2 /etc/secure-stable-supfile where /etc/secure-stable-supfile reads: # Defaults that apply to all the collections *default host=cvsup.nl.FreeBSD.org *default base=/usr *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs tag=FreeBSD-STABLE *default delete use-rel-suffix *default compress src-all (without the tabs, btw ;) this outputs: Parsing supfile "secure-stable-supfile" Looking up address of cvsup.nl.FreeBSD.org Connecting to cvsup.nl.FreeBSD.org Connected to cvsup.nl.FreeBSD.org Server software version: REL_16_1 Negotiating file attribute support Exchanging collection information Establishing multiplexed-mode data connection Running Updating collection src-all/cvs --> for a long time nothing happens <-- Shutting down connection to server Finished successfully but there are NO new files in /usr/src!!! Changing the server to cvsup.FreeBSD.org didn't make ANY difference, unfortunately. To tell you the truth, I'm getting fairly fed up with it all. All I wanted was to migrate to 4.x in order to use ipFilter easilly, and it's turned out to be quite a nightmare for me; after 4 weeks still no fully working system. -:(( <hangs head> I admit it. I'm a lost puppy, and I need a friendly hand to guide me out of the dark forest. ;-) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
