This is more of a comment than a question.
After I'm done installing a new release of FreeBSD, typically the first
thing I do is get my /ports and /src trees cvsup'ing. From past
experience, I know how to do this fairly quickly.
1. Install cvsup-bin
2. cp /usr/share/examples/cvsup/standard-supfile /etc
3. cp /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile /etc
4. vi /etc/standard-supfile
A. change:
*default release=cvs tag=.
to
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_3
B. uncomment:
src-crypto
src-eBones
src-secure
C. comment out:
# *default compress
5. vi /etc/ports-supfile
A. uncomment:
src-crypto
src-eBones
src-secure
B. comment out:
# *default compress
6. vi /etc/periodic/daily/800x.cvsup-src
"/usr/local/bin/cvsup -P - -g /etc/standard-supfile"
7. vi /etc/periodic/daily/810x.ports-src
"/usr/local/bin/cvsup -P - -g /etc/ports-supfile"
Now surely Joe User can't be expected to do something like this as a new
user of FreeBSD. Isn't there any way to write some sort of quick hack
add-in for sysinstall that sets something like this up? Or at least
have a reasonable pair of supfiles in /etc/periodic that can be
activated?
