I'm running 4.3 -RELEASE right now, and I keep my ports tree current with the following cvsup file : *default host=cvsup.ca.freebsd.org *default base=/usr *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4 *default delete use-rel-suffix *default compress ports-all tag=. I'd like to track -STABLE on a weekly basis. I've got "The Complete FreeBSD, 3rd Edition" but I'm not quite sure I fully understand the concept of tracking -STABLE. Last time I tried doing this, 'make world' bombed my box and I was left with a very, very broken system. I'd like to know : * What to add/modify to my cvsup file to track -STABLE * How 'make world' works, and how *not* to bomb my system * What to expect (broken stuff perhaps ?) * How to keep my system (/usr/src) up to date afterwards Also, how often do you people out there rebuild your entire system?
