I installed sup 2.0 on 2.1R and tried to use it to update to stable. Most went fine, but there were two groups that would hang up during the sup. I commented those two groups out of my supfile and tried again and all went well. I then uncommented those two and commented the rest and tried sup again (to re-try just the two that failed). Both groups locked up at exactly the same file. I don't remember which groups were causing the lockup, but I know one of them was usrsbin. I was using sup2.freebsd.org, but tried others as well. This is not a critical problem; my workaround was to get the two dirs from freebsd.org via ftp (get usrsbin.tar.Z for example) and then the make world went fine. Two questions: 1) Does anyone know why two groups would consistently lock up at the same file? 2) I want to use sup in the future, but I suspect it doesn't know that I 'went around it's back' and got the two missing dirs. Is there a way I can let sup on my end know that my end is up to date so it will just track changes from now on? Thanks in advance! Jay West
