I asked about how to get cvsup working on 5.3-R AMD64. Mucho thanks for the quick responses, guys. Additional comments/questions below. >> Steve Kargl wrote: >>> vi /etc/libmap.conf >>> libm.so.2 libm.so.3 [my comments for this post] Adding the lib-mapping worked just fine. The update with cvsup was no problem after that. (and it all built fine, too, see?) # uname -a FreeBSD inoxidable.tex-an.net 5.3-RELEASE-p2 FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE-p2 #0: (this was on a tyan 2882 w/4GB and 2 Opteron 244 procs) Chris Howells responded: >> However that is a really bad idea in the long term so it should be >> removed after you have cvsup'd the sources and rebuilt cvsup so that it >> uses libm.so.3 instead. [my comments for this post] It's always a good idea to remind people to keep track of detrius. but: Steve responded back: > Have you looked at net/cvsup/Makefile.

I'll have to remember about getting rid of the libmap.conf entry at some point. Or, do I really? Is there anything that would be screwed up if it was expecting libm.so.2 and it got redirected to libm.so.3 instead? Is there full backward compatibility? Or would I even care, since nothing else is likely to be asking for libm.so.2 on AMD64, anyway? And lastly, a follow on question. If I want to move up to -current, do a want RELENG6, HEAD, or what? People seem to be refering to it as HEAD, but I don't know if that is what is used for the tag in the cvsup supfile.
