No, nothing like that would happen. In fact, you do realize that in doing a CVSup, nothing in the _operational_ portion of your system has been touched at all. You have new source code, but you still need to build a new world and kernel on your own. > Actually, this is what I did..I started with a 3.3R system, did a binary > upgrade to 4.0R and then did a CVS upgrade to 4.2-Stable. Cool. That's the easiest way to do it. > As of 3.3R I had > installed the 3.0 Stable Upgrade Kit from www.freebsd.org/ports home page. > Will my ports upgrade for 4.2 Stable also have taken place with the CVSUP? There are no branches in the ports tree. There are no "ports for 4.2-STABLE." There is only a snapshot of the head of the tree at any one time. Up-to-date ports for 3.5-STABLE are the same as ports for 4.2-STABLE are the same for 5.0-CURRENT, etc. But to reiterate, your CVSup of 4.2-STABLE source has not touched your ports collection at all. -- Crist J.
