I use the ports-supfile and stable-supfile under /usr/share/examples/cvsup to do upgrade. I think I understand what the difference between the pkg_add and "make install". That is if I want to install the latest version, I should use the "make install" or get the xxx.tbz from the freebsd-current directory. Is it correct? Could I make the default directory from 5.3-release to 6.0-current by change one configuration file? If I want to override the default fetching site of "pkg_add" command by some faster sites, how can I do? >From: Chris >Reply-To: racerx@makeworld.com >To: Abu Khaled >CC: well sun , freebsd-questions@freebsd.org >Subject: Re: a question about the pkg_add and "make install clean" >Date: Mon, 28 Mar 2005 20:38:56 -0600 > >Abu Khaled wrote: >>On Tue, 29 Mar 2005 01:12:10 +0000, well sun >>wrote: >> >>> I had install the freebsd5.3 with custom setup and only >>>install >>> the source code and base, not install xorg and perl.
