This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_004E_01C073E2.3E9B9280 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit All- I would like to do a CVSup once a week at an off-peak time, and rebuild the world and several kernels. Also, I would like to be able to rebuild any ports that I have installed, and create packages from them so my other FreeBSD machines can simply pkg_add them. I'm curious if anyone has come up with an automated way of maintaining their FreeBSD system(s), similar to what I have outlined above. The CVSup and building the world is easy enough to launch through a cron job. But the ports can get out of sync with each other so easily, if they're not all rebuilt in the right order, etc. Thanks, Paul ------=_NextPart_000_004E_01C073E2.3E9B9280 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=3DContent-Type content=3D"text/html; = charset=3Diso-8859-1"> <META content=3D"MSHTML 5.50.4522.1800" name=3DGENERATOR></HEAD> <BODY> <DIV><SPAN class=3D031195615-01012001><FONT = face=3DGeorgia>All-</FONT></SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=3D031195615-01012001><FONT=20 face=3DGeorgia></FONT></SPAN> </DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=3D031195615-01012001><FONT face=3DGeorgia>I would like = to do a=20 CVSup once a week at an off-peak time, and rebuild the world and several = kernels.
