Part 4: Advanced topics 15. Staying current with FreeBSD 15.1. What is FreeBSD-current? 15.2. Who needs FreeBSD-current? 15.3. What is FreeBSD-current NOT? 15.4. Using FreeBSD-current 16. Staying stable with FreeBSD 16.1. What is FreeBSD-stable? 16.2. Who needs FreeBSD-stable? 16.3. Using FreeBSD-stable I think you'll find some info on that topic there. You only have to change the supfiles to the format of cvsup ... The cvsup package has some info on that ...
