Hi I am new to FreeBSD and trying to use CVSup after someone suggested it to me on comp.unix.misc.bsd.freebsd. My supfile : *default tag=. *default host=cvsup.FreeBSD.org *default prefix=/usr *default base=/var/db *default release=cvs delete use-rel-suffix compress ports-all release=cvs I ran cvsup and upgraded the ports that came with FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE. Now when I try to install some zope products, I get broken dependencies, and in some case (more odd IMO) syntax errors (misplaced return statements) that get ignored and the product installs, seemingly without any problems. Was I wrong to use tag=. above ? If so, should I use RELENG_5_3 to ensure that things don't break like this ? The server in question is supposed to run a plone based website, and stability is important. Thanks. PS : Prior to settling on FreeBSD, I dallied for a while with OpenBSD where matching the ports version with the release version was paramount, a constraint that seems absent here. Or am I making a blunder here ? :)
