As this and freebsd-announce are the only FreeBSD mail lists I subcribe to I may have missed articles on how to keep up with patches to the 2.2-RELEASE. I run a ISP with many FreeBSD 2.2.1-RELEASE servers doing various things, and a bunch of customer sites also running 2.2.1-RELEASE. In the past I used 2.1.5, and once a month cron would fire up SUP to download source code updates to the -stable tree, and run a make world on each machine. Now I beleive SUP is no longer really supported, being replaced with cvsup and a somewhat trickier set up involving big Modula-3 libraries etc. I read Jordan's announcement this morning about the daily snaps of 2.2 with interest which prompted me to write this e-mail. My question is what is the most practical method I can use to automate monthly unattended updates of the 2.2 release? - Ernie.
