I think in your other post you mentioned wanting to track security updates, and maybe updates of certain ports (Apache). Security updates can be tracked by subscribing to the freebsd-security-notifications mailing list, and following the directions in the security notices which apply to you, to apply the fix or workaround. As for updating Apache, etc.. There are numerous ways (portupgrade) to upgrade the port, if you really need to. In fact, a standard buildworld won't compile your ports or hand-installed 3rd party applications. cvsup is great for developers and interested people who want to track -STABLE or -CURRENT, but if you just want security patches and maybe the odd port upgrade, cvsup IS overkill. :-) > But all the docs say no problem just say > tag=something_from_a_list_somewhere_that_no_one_seems_to_tell_you_where_it_is > > Tell me is it, "RELENG_4" ?
