In order to be able to keep my system up-to-date (FreeBSD and ports), I have to white list the FreeBSD servers and directories that need to be accessible, because otherwise I can only download files through a web browser, which is obviously extremely painful. Also only the HTTP and FTP protocols are allowed on my network, so CVSUP is not allowed. So my current plan is to update FreeBSD using the following tools: 1-Port directory update through portsnap 2-FreeBSD src update through CTM 3-Port updates through distfiles and/or packages I think 1- and 2- are quite straightforward. To allow 1- I need to white list the whole content of http://portsnap.freebsd.org/ . To allow 2- I need to white list the content of ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/CTM/ . That should be sufficient, right? The main issue I have though is with 3-. MASTER_SITE_BACKUP and MASTER_SITE_OVERRIDE variables are no longer recognized in /etc/make.conf, right? How can I force FreeBSD to pull distfiles and packages from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports ? Also what is the difference between ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/distfiles and ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles ? I guess one of the directories is aliased to point to the other, right? Thanks!
