Hi all - First of all, I want to say thank you for sharing your experience to all of you who post on the list. Between lurking here and RTFM'ing, I'd like to think that I have part of a clue about FreeBSD on occasion. Anyway, I tried my first CVSup last night. I had a few problems, and the Fine Manuals just confused me more. Here is my supfile (more or less straight from the /usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile and the handbook): ports-all tag=. # This line is definitely a problem *defaulthost=cvsup6.freebsd.org *defaultbase=/usr/local/etc/cvsup *defaultprefix=/usr *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4 # Not sure if this line is a problem or not. *default delete use-rel-suffix *default compress src-all First, I am trying to keep up with FreeBSD 4_STABLE including ports. However, after running `cvsup -g -L2 supfile`, I get an error: "Release not specified for collection "ports-all". Complete FreeBSD uses "ports-all" for the ports example, but the sample supfile and the handbook have dire warnings about using anything other than "ports-all tag=.", saying you might hose your installed ports. What am I doing wrong and why is there a difference between the handbook and Complete FreeBSD? If I comment out the ports line, I can cvsup and `make world`. Second, although I am trying to keep up with -STABLE, I've gotten weird errors after CVSup. ipfw segfaulted, and `pwd` and `cd ..` gave me "No such file or directory" several times. Did I somehow get -CURRENT instead, and if so, what should I have in my supfile to get to -STABLE? I'm sure that there is a simple answer to these questions, but the more I read, the more I get confused.
