Unless you changed it, this file tracks RELENG_4 (4.9-STABLE), as 5.x has not become -STABLE yet. Even if you did change it, your next installworld will clobber it back to RELENG_4. A better bet is to copy the supfile someplace safe and modify to track RELENG_5_2 or '.' or whatever... > #SUPFILE= /usr/share/examples/cvsup/security-supfile This looks more promising (you seem to have created this file). I was involved in a discussion with re@ about supfiles a while back (even submitted patches), but nothing ever came of it. The consensus seemed to be on creating a "release-supfile" to track the security release branch. Jon Hi Jon, Thanks for the comment. Naturally I changed the file to track '.', and haven't had a problem in the past with it being clobbered unless I rebuilt the cvsup port. A good suggestion none the less, I've renamed the cvsup file to current-supfile and updated make.conf accordingly. In the mean time I still can't get a buildworld happening :( If you have any further ideas, I'm open to suggestions. Thanks again, Sean.
