It doesn't work. This is what I get: # cd /usr/share/examples/cvsup # cvsup -g -L 2 -h cvsup.gr.freebsd.org ports-supfile Parsing supfile "ports-supfile" Connecting to cvsup.gr.freebsd.org Connected to cvsup.gr.freebsd.org Protocol negotiation failed: See http://www.polstra.com/projects/freeware/CVSup/s1g/ for upgrading information # I upgraded cvsup itself with /stand/sysinstall, but I still get this error. I checked the URL shown, but it isn't clear whether or not that is a newer version than I have; after all, I just installed the latest version (I assume) with /stand/sysinstall, from FTP. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Giorgos Keramidas" <charon@labs.gr> To: "Anthony Atkielski" <anthony@atkielski.com> Cc: <questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Friday, November 09, 2001 23:22 Subject: Re: Where is ftp.freesoftware.com? > Anthony Atkielski <anthony@atkielski.com> wrote: > > > Anthony, updating your ports tree should fix this :) > > > > And what is the simplest way to do that? > > There are various ways, explained in the Handbook. > A lot of people tend to prefer CVSup. > This, on a machine connected to the Internet, > essentially boils down to: > > a) Become root. > > a.1) If not done before, install the latest package for cvsup. > This will give you the CVSup client. > > b) Change your working directory to /usr/share/examples/cvsup > > c) Run cvsup to update the ports tree: > # cvsup -g -L 2 -h cvsup.gr.freebsd.org ports-supfile > > Of course, you need to choose a CVSup server closer to you > network-wise.
