You'd think there be some > standard supfile template to upgrade your OS. What, like /usr/share/examples/cvsup/standard-supfile? Although there's a bit of a twist to how it works: the standard-supfile installed on your system will have the CVS tag inside it appropriate to the branch you have installed. So, on a 4.9-STABLE it contains: *default release=3Dcvs tag=3DRELENG_4 whilst on 4.9-RELEASE-pX it contains: *default release=3Dcvs tag=3DRELENG_4_9 and on 5.2.1-RELEASE-p1 it contains: *default release=3Dcvs tag=3D. Oh well. Can't win them all: I'd expect tag=3D. to be correct for 5-CURRENT, and for 5.2.1-RELEASE-p1 to have tag=3DRELENG_5_2 What ever, you can download the appropriate supfile from the CVS repository, and it's fairly obvious how to modify the file for other branches: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/src/share/examples/cvs= up/standard-supfile?rev=3D1.17.2.6&content-type=3Dtext/plain&only_with_tag= =3DRELENG_4 http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/src/share/examples/cvs= up/standard-supfile?rev=3D1.17.2.6.6.1&content-type=3Dtext/plain&only_with_= tag=3DRELENG_4_9 http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/src/share/examples/cvs= up/standard-supfile?rev=3D1.22&content-type=3Dtext/plain&only_with_tag=3DRE= LENG_5_2 Cheers, Matthew --=20 Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 26 The Paddocks Savill Way PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey Marlow Tel: +44 1628 476614 Bucks., SL7 1TH UK --WIyZ46R2i8wDzkSu Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFAS2/MdtESqEQa7a0RAl8ZAJ4oAJzStsgg0HNLA41e2vrk8lt2EACfbU3g RJGBPhfzGVNonVRnVNB8Kdo= =f5VM -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --WIyZ46R2i8wDzkSu--
