First, let me say that I did this last night and it's quite painless - 45= =20 minutes to CVSup (no ports) and 45 minutes to build/install. Is it common practice to do the system *and* ports CVSup at the same time?= =20 Just for yucks I did the system last night and I'll try the ports tonight. Also, there's a=20 *default release=3Dcvs tag=3D line in the example ports supfile - should I/we make that: *default release=3Dcvs tag=3DRELENG_4_7 or is the 'cvs tag' line not relevant to the ports upgrade? Thanks - JB # John Bleichert=20 # http://vonbek.dhs.org/latest.jpg ********************************************** ********************************************** If you try to change the tag that way, you'll have a heck of a time finding where your ports went. ;) Read the comments in stable-supfile (they might be in ports-supfile also) regarding the necessity of keeping the version line "tag=3D." Yes, it's common to do system and ports at the same time. Not doing so might cause port builds to break when encountering newer/older than expected versions of build tools or other system bits.
