Maxim, Thanks for your throrough explanation. That's exactly what I need to find my feet in FreeBSD world. I actually heard about cvsup last week (I'm running FreeBSD since 10 days now), I tried it, but screwed up my system files. As a result I could not comile my kernel anymore. I was so confused that I reinstalled from scratch @!(#. So allow me to ask a few more details on this particular cvsup, since I don't want to create the same mess once again: > Actually you can use cvsup to update your ports tree to the latest version. > This is pretty straightforward: > 1. Install cvsup (cd /usr/ports/net/cvsup-bin ; make install clean). > 2. Create the following file (ports-supfile): > *default host=cvsup10.freebsd.org > *default prefix=/usr > *default base=/usr > *default release=cvs tag=. > *default delete use-rel-suffix > *default compress > ports-all > 3. Connect to the Internet if necessary and run: > # cvsup -L2 ports-cupfile ===> should that be "ports-supfile" (c -> s). If not, I'm confused. In a nutshell once again: I create a file "/some/directory/ports-supfile", add the above lines in it. Then call # cvsup -L2 /some/directory/ports-supfile Is that 100 percent save? Thanks, Rob.
