I cannot believe that's wrong. I copied it from "The Complete FreeBSD"
by Greg Leley, page 281:

"
Other Possible cvsupfiles

The example cvsupfile aboce is useful if you're maintaining a copy of
the repository. If you just want to maintain a copy of the sources of
one version, say 2.2.5, use the following file instead:

*default tag=RELENG_2_2_5_RELEASE
*default release=cvs
*default host=cvsup.internat.freebsd.org
*default base=/usr
*default prefix=/src/ncvs
*default delete
*default use-rel-suffix
*default compress
cvs-crypto
"

I just want to keep the lastest release of FreeBSD, so what's worng ?
Where are there good tutorials on keeping up to date with FreeBSD, cause
it looks like Greg Lehey did not write clean bit about that.
I am reading your Book Dr. Greg

Thank you for your time and cooperation.

Yes i am reading your book, but it looks like not so clear to a
beginner!!!!!
