I am trying for the first time to upgrade a system to the
latest security-patched version of FreeBSD-4.5.
When I use the command
cvsup cvs-supfile
I get the following error message:
Release not specified for collection "host=ftp9.freebsd.org"
That's nice, but I do have the following line in the
cvs-supfile: Here it is in context with the line above.
host=ftp9.freebsd.org
release=4.5-RELEASE
There is also a tag= directive in this file.
# The easiest way to get the main source tree is to use the "src-all"
# mega-collection. It includes all of the individual "src-*" collections,
# except the export-restricted collections.
tag=RELENG_4_5
src-all
The only other thing I put in that file is a tag for the
ports colection.
# The easiest way to get the ports tree is to use the "ports-all"
# mega-collection. It includes all of the individual "ports-*"
# collections,
tag=.
ports-all
This is where a cookie-cutter-style example of a file
that is at least syntactically correct even if it does not work
would come in handy.
Anyway, what kind of release information is cvsup
missing? The cvs-supfile is otherwise right from the example.
I don't yet know enough about it to be creative.
