The ",v" stuff comes from CVS --- it seems you've managed to pull down
the cvs repository to your /usr/src, rather than the checked out
source code. Both are supported via cvsup, but unless you're going to
be doing heavyweight FreeBSD development or you have to buildworld for
a wide variety of OS versions, the cvs repository is probably not what
you want. (Besides, the traditional place to keep the CVS repository
is /home/ncvs).
The simplest way of getting cvsup working is to start with the
appropriate example supfile --- they should be in
/usr/share/examples/cvsup, but were accidentally omitted from one of
the recent releases. To track stable (RELENG_4), you can use
/usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile and you don't even have to
edit the file at all. Just use a command line like:
cvsup -g -L 2 -h cvsup.ca.freebsd.org /usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile
If you're tracking one of the security branches you might have to edit
a copy of the stable-supfile and change 'RELENG_4' into 'RELENG_4_6'
one time, but once you're on the appropriate branch (ie. after
{build,install}world), you can just use
/usr/share/examples/cvsup/standard-supfile which is cunningly set up
to track whatever release version you've installed.
In your case, I'd move aside or delete everything you've currently got
under /usr/src and start again with a clean sheet. Once you've got a
decent copy of /usr/src set up your /etc/make.conf correctly, and you
can run cvsup easily by running 'make update' from /usr/src --- refer
to /etc/defaults/make.conf for details but something like:
SUP_UPDATE= yes
#
SUP= /usr/local/bin/cvsup
SUPFLAGS= -g -L 2
SUPHOST= cvsup.ca.FreeBSD.org
SUPFILE= /usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile
PORTSSUPFILE= /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile
DOCSUPFILE= /usr/share/examples/cvsup/doc-supfile
in /etc/make.conf should work for you.
Cheers
Matthew
