But... Well, CVSup, by itself isn't kinda complicated, but.. Umm.. After cvsupping, is there anything else to do? If just CVSup is enough to keep the machine up to date, GREAT! I've got it! But, if not, what are the next steps? Thanks, guys! p.s.1: I have a fat 34 Mbit/s pipe to the internet, and, actually, I'm testing FBSD 4.4-RELEASE. p.s.2: The handobook's page, the comparision between -RELEASE and -STABLE, shows the following command to, probably, CVSup the machine. The command is: pkg_add -f ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/packages/All/cvsupit-3.0.tgz But, this goddamn link installs in your machine a older buggy version of cvs. If there's anyone here in the list that manages the Ports collection, please, be aware. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brian T.Schellenberger" To: "Rodrigo A B Freire" ; Sent: Sunday, January 13, 2002 3:54 PM Subject: Re: Newbie: 4.4-stable, how to? > On Sunday 13 January 2002 10:01 am, Rodrigo A B Freire wrote: > > People, > > > > Is there an easy way to install the 4.4-stable version, without the > > complication of CVSup, etc. etc etc.? > > No. If you don't want all that complexity you just need to wait for the next > release.
