Here are some basic instructions that I'd give out to get cvsup working nicely: Have a look at http://www.bugman.cx/cvsup/. Copy the three files I have there into your /etc directory and vim them all to taste. Make sure you modify them all!! You will want to change the cvsup host to something local to you, and you will probably want to remove WITHOUT_X11 and other make.conf tags like that, and don't forget to change the release tag in release-supfile. It's pretty straight forward. Now that you have these files, go into /usr/src or /usr/ports and type 'make update'. By keeping these default options in /etc/make.conf, whenever you run make, they are passed as default options. It's easy to keep your ports/src trees up to date this way. > -------------------------------------------- > *default host=cvsup10.FreeBSD.org > *default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup > *default prefix=/usr > *default release=cvs delete use-rel-suffix > *default tag=RELENG_4_10 > ports-all tag=. > src-all tag=. > -------------------------------------------- > > -- > David Bear > phone: 480-965-8257 > fax: 480-965-9189 > College of Public Programs/ASU > Wilson Hall 232 > Tempe, AZ 85287-0803 > "Beware the IP portfolio, everyone will be suspect of trespassing" > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > -- Adam Smith Internode : http://www.internode.on.net Phone : (08) 8228 2999 Dog for sale: Eats lots and is fond of children.
