Hi everyone, and thanks for replying!
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.
