Now I'm trying to understand CVSup mechanics. As of now, I run FreeBSD on a P133 with somewhat limited disk space, so I'm trying to be as conservative as possible. I did minimal install, and then used /stand/sysinstall to install only the things that I need. I would also like to stay as stable as possible. Am I right in my understanding that including tag=RELENG_3 will *only* get me those updates, that have been tested and deemed stable? So far, I have upgraded my sources with the following supfile: *default host=cvsup3.freebsd.org *default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup *default prefix=/usr *default tag=RELENG_3 *default release=cvs *default delete use-rel-suffix src-base src-bin src-etc src-gnu src-include src-lib src-libexec src-sbin src-share src-sys src-tools src-usrbin src-usrsbin cvs-crypto I would also like to track updates for some of the ports, installed on my system. 4 questions on this: 1. If I included ports-www release=cvs in the supfile, then it would result in *all* ports under that category installed on my system, right? 2. I understood that I can't include tag=RELENG_3 with any of the ports, right? In that case, will I get ports from CURRENT when doing the update? Is there any difference between the ports, used with CURRENT, and the ones, shipped with STABLE? 3. Will I get sources or the binaries of the ports? 4. Is there any way to specify on a per-application basis, which of them I want installed and updated? Like I said earlier, all I want are updates to apache, mutt, and a *very small* number of applications.
