If anyone can either answer or point me to some docs I'd appreciate it. I've installed FreeBSD 4.2 from the CDs, and everything is running great. So then I set up cvsup. I'm not much of a cutting edge person - so I set my tag to be RELENG_4 to get the stable rather than current branch. I set up the other parameters, (for example, I'm cvsup'ing my /usr, not a cvs repository, and I'm refusing the non-english languages, etc)...and I request src-all, ports-all, and doc-all. Well, some of you might know what happened. Cvsup deleted all my ports. *poof*. Looking through the Complete FreeBSD, I discover what I had missed: that for ports the only relevant tag is ., or CURRENT. Now getting the ports back is no big deal - I've got the CDs. But my question is: how do I keep my ports up to date? Do I: a) Have to be running CURRENT, rather than STABLE? I'd prefer STABLE...but I really want the up to date ports, especially X-Free 4, becuase I have an ATI Radeon....or, b) Do I need two separate cvsup-files...one with a tag of RELENG_4 for src-all and one with a tag of . for ports-all and doc-all, and I run cvsup twice.. c) Or something else...
