Here's a neat little script you can run from cron or commandline. I use it to update the ports tree and the source tree for 5-STABLE. Feel free to change the cvsup logging to suit (I don't log the ports, but I do log important STABLE src stuff). Also, use the correct country for mirrors. You need to install cvsup, portupgrade, fastest_cvsup, and if you want, try freebsd-update. The portupgrade line at the bottom may not be needed by many. But this way, I already have the latest ports distfiles, if I want, so when I am ready to run portupgrade, the download is already on my disk. Ensure you put your cvsup files in the right place (or edit the script below.) I run this every other day on FreeBSD 5.4. The logs help me see what needs to be updated. (Every time it runs, it will show you what ports could be updated. It will also show you what files were updated in the source tree.) my cron entry: 33 2 */2 * * /root/mydaily.sh 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null Weekly is like this: 33 2 * * 3 /root/mydaily.sh 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null ***********/root/mydaily.sh********* #!/bin/sh # # Billy saw something like this on 12/18/2004 at: #http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/wlg/6041?page=last&x-order=date # LOGF="/var/log/cvsup.log" exec >>${LOGF} 2>&1 echo "START @ `/bin/date`" #use fastest_cvsup to find fastest geographically #close mirror; I'll check Canada and the US if SERVER=`/usr/local/bin/fastest_cvsup -Q -c ca,us`; then echo "Using STABLE Server:" $SERVER /usr/local/bin/cvsup -L1 -h $SERVER -l /var/log/cvs-lock-s /root/stable-supfile echo "STABLE done @ `/bin/date`" else echo "cvsup-STABLE has a fastest_cvsup problem on...`/bin/date`" fi if SERVER=`/usr/local/bin/fastest_cvsup -Q -c ca,us`; then echo "Using PORTS Server:" $SERVER /usr/local/bin/cvsup -L0 -h $SERVER -l /var/log/cvs-lock-p /root/ports-supfile echo "PORTS done @ `/bin/date`" else echo "cvsup-PORTS has a fastest_cvsup problem on...`/bin/date`" fi #-U (which takes a long time to execute) isn't needed #with the fetchindex command cd /usr/ports make fetchindex /usr/local/sbin/portsdb -u ###################################### # This program is nice, too.
