Ok, let me say I do first cvsup with src-all (what I > did realy before) and my goal is keep update the ports directory. What is > "rebuilt /usr/ports/INDEX*" ? If I start "make index" in the ports directory > after sometimes an error occurs. When you cvsup src-all, you get the OS and have a different tag. There are examples of working supfiles in /usr/share/examples/cvsup. You can combine them but you have to pay close attention to the tag entries. A tag=. will get you freebsd-current and that is the only useful tag for docs and ports. I get the error messages but I have portupgrade installed and have added "portsdb -uU" to the script is use to do my port cvsup. It remakes both INDEX files everytime I cvsup. > Sorry, but I'm realy confuse... :-( Zack caught a major error. You can change the locations but then you have to offset where you look for a port. You need something like #*default host=cvsup7.freebsd.org *default host=ruby *default base=/usr *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs tag=. *default delete use-rel-suffix I have a local mirror.
