Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org 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?
