Nice. It will just blow up your source files, not a disaster, really ... Try this for a /etc/cvsupfile: *default host=cvsup2.de.FreeBSD.org *default base=/usr *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs *default tag=RELENG_4 *default delete use-rel-suffix *default compress src-all ports-all tag=. This will keep your sources stable, and the ports very much up to date. Just replace 'cvsup2.de.FreeBSD.org' with something closer to home ('de' happens to be close to my home), and you're all set. > Yea, it's probably not that tough, it just that the > documentation blows. > > YOU tell me this wasn't written by mutants: > > Quote from: > "http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvs up.html#CVSUP-CONFIG-FILES" # -- snip snip -- # Documentation has never been my cup of tea ... I prefer the Socratic method (asking questions) and fiddling until it either works or gets completely fubar'ed (in which case I have backups). >My Mac OS X politely says every Sunday afternoon, "We have an update of >xxx.app, would you like to install it now?" I say, "Yes, thank you." MacOS X is wonderful, I've got a Mac sitting here just to be able to tinker with it ... still ... I much prefer FreeBSD. If I didn't have to talk to Exchange servers all the time (*sigh*) I wouldn't use anything other than FreeBSD. - Philip -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 7.0.1 iQA/AwUBO8epXL9L0OYEnbh5EQLFYgCfbt0kxZB+muPiDwX1/gCgNfBbeTwAoJrl BP50wG1ekfJOAfebe05mfACQ =pkAf -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
