I copied it from "The Complete FreeBSD" by Greg Leley, page 281: " Other Possible cvsupfiles The example cvsupfile aboce is useful if you're maintaining a copy of the repository. If you just want to maintain a copy of the sources of one version, say 2.2.5, use the following file instead: *default tag=RELENG_2_2_5_RELEASE *default release=cvs *default host=cvsup.internat.freebsd.org *default base=/usr *default prefix=/src/ncvs *default delete *default use-rel-suffix *default compress cvs-crypto " I just want to keep the lastest release of FreeBSD, so what's worng ? Where are there good tutorials on keeping up to date with FreeBSD, cause it looks like Greg Lehey did not write clean bit about that. I am reading your Book Dr. Greg Thank you for your time and cooperation.
