Hi! A similar topic has been disscused here several days ago, but I still don't understand, how correctly update ports tree via cvsup. I have installed 4.9-release. I upgraded to -stable according to /usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile (I have changed only '*default host=...' line, all rest I kept untouched) and I done make world and kernel... I understand well how to upgrade system, but my questions about ports are: 1) Is it ok to upgrade ports, or do I have keep ports instaled from -release CD? 2) If I should upgrade ports, how exactly? Which file from examples I should use and how I need to modify it? There is nothing about ports upgrade in stable-supfile and ports-supfile deals about -current. Is it enough to use cvs-supfile from examples directory, change a cvsup server and comment out 'doc-all' and 'cvsroot-all', isn't it? Sorry for (maybe) stupid questions; I read comments in stable-supfile and handbook, but this is still not clear for me. Jozef
