Stupidly = using the wrong tag (tag=3D.), I erroneously but successfully installed the = CURRENT version. I could have used SYSINSTALL for the RELEASE 6.2 ports, but for = the sake of learning and training myself I did not. =20 Problem:=20 - I ran CVSup again with the correct tag but though everything in the process looked normal, the map usr/ports remains empty and nor with = whereis nor with pkg_xxx any information about ports can be found.=20 Questions:=20 - What did I do wrong in the process?. =20 - Is cvsup for installation of RELEASE 6.2 ports collection a bad idea anyway (technically) ? =20 =20 Proces: - I use the recently installed cvsup-without-gui, installed from ports=20 - I deleted all entries and maps in/under /usr/ports (as recommended in = the Handbook)=20 =20 - I modified the ports-supfile in usr/share/examples/cvsup and copied it = to portswj-supfile in the same map (not good practice I know now....) The settings in the -supfile where: *default host=3Dcvsup15.FreeBSD.org =20 *default base=3D/var/db *default prefix=3D/usr *default release=3Dcvs tag=3DRELENG_6_2_0_RELEASE (the handbook = suggests that this is a valid tag for ports) *default delete use-rel-suffix (I could not find a meaning for this = in the books, anyone can tell me please?) *default compress ports-all =20 - I ran: cvsup -L 2 /usr/share/examples/cvsup/portswj-supfile The conversation looked OK, no error messages but also no scrolling list = of files There is a logfile in /var/db/sup ports-all, something like .cvs:RELENG_6_2_0_RELEASE. It shows a list of all the elements of = the ports collection that looks normal and every record shows also RELENG_6_2_0_RELEASE. =20 Regards, Walter Jansen =20 =20 =20 =20
