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?
