Well, after spending a few hours reading all about CVSup, downloading the
binary for my 2.1.5 machine, and getting a supfile from the stable tree,
it's a no go.
Most of my FreeBSD friends were using sup to download the updated
source/port trees and this unexpected switch is causing no end of trouble!
I appreciate all the (*free*) work the development team puts into FreeBSD,
but if I may be so bold as to ask for at least a little information and/or
steps needed switch from being a SUP user to a CVSup user?
Oh yes, here is the error I am receiving, and the three supfiles I've
tried are attached:
