Hello

I have a few problems understanging what CVSup actually does for me
despite reading the handbook and everything else I could find :-)

I am using a FreeBSD 4.2 release and I have managed to compile a
kernel.

I have used the following supfile.

*default tag=RELENG_4
*default host=cvsup.fr.FreeBSD.org
*default prefix=/usr
*default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup
*default release=cvs delete use-rel-suffix compress

ports-all
src-all

Done: cvsup supfile

This downloaded loaded loads of files, and deleted a lot more in
/usr/ports.

Leaving me with no ports. I had to do /stand/sysinstall to get them
back.

Another thing that I don't get is that, for example with proftp, the
current version seems to be the 1.2.2, but I have the 1.2.0.

HOw and when will the update of proftp take place ??

Confused?

Thanks

James
