Hai ,
I have installed 5.3 release and want to keep my
system uptodate with the security patches.
Based on many guides, I have arranged as a doc. Pls
confirm me whether my steps are ok
1) Install portupgrade
2) Sync ports
Ports-supfile contains as
*default host=cvsup10.us.freebsd.org
*default base=/var/db
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=.
*default delete use-rel-suffix
ports-all
( or should I change tag=RELENG_5_3 )
cvsup -g -L 2 /root/ports-supfile
3) portsdb -Uu
4) portversion -v
5) portupgrade -arR { to upgrade from all the lower
versions of applications )
Any other steps to do?
What 'make fetchindex' will do?
Pls guide me
Sarav
