Does this look like a reasonable supfile then? *default host=cvsup5.FreeBSD.org *default base=/var/db *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs delete use-rel-suffix compress src-all tag=RELENG_5_3 ports-all tag=. doc-all tag=. It only gets the security patches for the OS, but gets the latest ports and docs. Is that correct?
