I read the FAQ and the handbook and I still have some confusion about how to keep my system semi recent without catching things in a state of flux. For example I grabbed the source tree off of ftp.freebsd.org this morning. I tried a make world and it blew up compiling the cc compiler when the prototypes in the contrib/gcc directory differed from the actual source in /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/blah blah blah. I understand fully that copying from that source may lead to headaches and that "sup" and the cvs trees are better. The thing is I don't have a lot of time to play with figuring out how to use sup and cvs. So I guess I am requesting a supfile and set of commands where I can fetch the recently changed files in a compilable version of the system. While I realize that Freebsd-stable is probably more for what kind of updates we need, we are unfortunatly wanting to try out the SMP kernel and have some other needs addressed by 2.2. So maybe if someone could explain this in a bit clearer sense and provide some real world examples of using sup and cvs to keep my system upto date with the most recent compilable version I would greatly appreciate it.
