Well, I think you should be using CVSUP to update the system. Is there a reason you can't run that? In your cvsup control file, you tell it what version to track. *default tag=RELENG_6 or *default tag=RELENG_6_2 would be your tag. When you install cvsup, it gives you a sample supfile. It needs very little change to make it work fine. You can put your supfile where you want. I put it in /etc and name it according to the version - eg '/etc/sulfile62' in this case. Below is my whole supfile It handles both the OS and the ports tree upgrade. ////jerry > > Mark Jacobs > # $FreeBSD: src/share/examples/cvsup/standard-supfile,v 1.23.4.2.2.1 2006/05/06 07:41:03 scottl Exp $ # # cvsup standard-supfile # # If not running X, or invoking cvsup from a non-interactive script, then # run it as follows: # # cvsup -g -L 2 standard-supfile # *default host=cvsup.FreeBSD.org *default base=/var/db *default prefix=/usr *default tag=RELENG_6_2 *default release=cvs *default delete use-rel-suffix *default compress ## Main Source Tree. # The easiest way to get the main source tree is to use the "src-all" # mega-collection.
