Hi Darren Thanks so much for the help. The following i put in file called etc-supfile in the dir: /usr/share/example/cvsup/ *default host=cvsup10.FreeBSD.org *default base=/home/dmp/cvs *default prefix=/home/dmp/cvs/usr *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4_4_0_RELEASE *default delete use-rel-suffix *default compress src-etc src-crypto But, for some reason it didn't work and i got a message saying "nonexistent base dir "/home/dmp/cvs" for collection "src-etc" Also, i was wondering, what happens when i use this supfile in the following command 'cvsup -g -L2 etc-supfile'. So, when i execute this command it will get the /etc/ files from the 4.4 release version of the source tree and where will it put them? >It's already well established that your /etc directory isn't in good >shape. I'd say pull down the 4.4-R /etc files, put them in by hand, >go through and reconfigure them to your system, and run mergemaster -p >again. So, i have to do a comparison by hand for all the files in the /etc/ dir. Is there any quick and effecient way to do this? Also, what do i do about the directories that are in the /etc/ folder? Do i have to update all the stuff in thoes too?
