Please, EDUCATE me. I am trying the cvsup of 4.2R to 4.3 stable. I have blown 4 hours trying to get some of my basic tools with ports and packages resources. Looks like my _databaase_ (or yours) is at least 30+ percent out of date or points at bogus servers. What if any special steps will I need to take to get current ports tree and related databases to facilitate fast installing. Can make world update my bind, qmail, procmail, apache if I tell it a pointer in some makefile ??? Thank you .. lots of good work here .. lots to learn to use it best. When I do a CVSUPDATE, how do I get a version file that tells me what the new kernel will be ?
