You don't even need to create one.  You should already have several
sample supfiles in ``/usr/share/examples/cvsup''.

These example supfiles can be used without _any_ change at all.  The
cvsup program can read default options from the example supfiles and a
CVSup server name from a command line option, all in one invocation:

# cvsup -h cvsup.host.address /usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile

NOTE: I strongly recommend using "stable-supfile" for your updates until
you have gained a fair bit of experience with updates through CVSup.
