I realize the ports on RELENG_4 have been EOL'd, but I'm stuck on 4 for one system due to instability currently with the RELENG_6 box that will take its place. I'd like to be able to get a ports tree that represents the state of things just before support for 4.x was dropped. I thought I read that the tag for that was RELENG_4_EOL. I tried using that by going into /etc/make.conf and changing PORTSSUPFILE= /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile to PORTSSUPFILE= /usr/local/etc/ports-supfile and in /usr/local/etc/ports-supfile, a copy of /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile, I changed *default release=cvs tag=. to *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4_EOL I did a "make update" in /usr/ports and it started to remove every file under /usr/ports. Yech. I had to go back to using /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile and do a make update from /usr/src to get a /usr/ports tree back, though now of course that /usr/ports tree doesn't work for 4.x (it expects the new rc.subr stuff for example). I realize I'm treading on retired ground here... but any ideas? Brian
