John dammit... that will wipe his ports tree afaik, what is most important is the file should be changed to: --- *default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup *default host=cvsup.se.FreeBSD.org *default base=/usr *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_3 *default delete use-rel-suffix src-all *default tag=. ports-all --- without the second 'tag' line there's a good chance his /usr/ports will be wiped out as there is no tag 'RELENG_3' in the ports cvs repo. I know you're trying to be helpful, just also remeber to be careful. :) -Alfred > > On Fri, 19 Nov 1999, Johan Pettersson wrote: > > >Hello! > > > >I have read about cvsup and tested it. > >But I think I didn't understand it right! > >From my stable-supfile: > > > >*default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup > >*default host=cvsup.se.FreeBSD.org > >*default base=/usr > >*default prefix=/usr > >*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_3 > >*default delete use-rel-suffix > >src-all > > > >I thought this would upgrade the ports collection! > >But from what I understand it didn't ? > >Can someone help me with the syntax ?
