Hello all, I am new to FreeBSD and have been instructed to keep my ports up to date using CVSup. I have carefully studied the Handbook page on how to setup the process and have checked out the CVSup web site; however, I am having a bit of a problem. When I attempt to start CVSup I get an error stating that the supfile I created is empty. I am almost positive the syntax of my supfile is correct as I set it up much the same as the example files. I have tried running CVSup as both root and regular users but no luck. Here are the details of the error: homer# cvsup -L 2 npcvsupfile Parsing supfile "npcvsupfile" Empty supfile Here is the contents of the supfile: *default host=cvsup.ca.FreeBSD.org *default prefix=/usr *default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup *default release=cvs delete use-rel-suffix *default tag=. ports-all I am using FreeBSD 3.1-STABLE. I have also installed Modula-3-lib-3.6 as the CVSup page of the handbook instructed. Any ideas on what might be wrong would be greatly appreciated.
