Hi folks Freebsd5.2 ========= This is my first time running 'cvsup' to upgrade port-tree after installing the OS which runs on a slow PC, AMD-K6-350 and under X11. # cvsup cvs-supfile I went through 'A.5.3 CVSup Configuration' on http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html But I haven't had much confidence on myself, not running the PC to an unstable state after upgrade. Please provide me some advice on this respect $ pkg_info | grep cvsup cvsup-16.1h General network file distribution system optimized for CVS # cp /usr/share/examples/cvsup/cvs-supfile /etc/cvs-supfile # ee /etc/cvs-supfile (as follows) .... cvs-all (shall I add 'release=cvs' ???) ... Can I create one 'supfile' to /etc/supfile and run followings collectively (instead of to run each 'supfile' separately); # cat /etc/supfile .... src-all doc-all ('release=cvs' ???) cvs-all ('release=cvs' ???) cvsroot-all ('release=cvs' ???) ports-all ('release=cvs' ???) ..... then # cvsup supfile Is it necessary to run following trial test ??? # mkdir /var/tmp/dest # cvsup supfile /var/tmp/dest I could not locate /usr/ports/UPDATING where it is kept???
