Trying to cvsup some ports and I get this when I run cvsup ports-supfile: "Cannot get ip address of my own host -- is its hostname correct?" Here's what I have in the supfile: # $FreeBSD: src/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile,v 1.19.2.3 2000/09/22 06:31:21 asami Exp $ # # This file contains all of the "CVSup collections" that make up the # FreeBSD-current ports collection. # # CVSup (CVS Update Protocol) allows you to download the latest CVS # tree (or any branch of development therefrom) to your system easily # and efficiently (far more so than with sup, which CVSup is aimed # at replacing). If you're running CVSup interactively, and are # currently using an X display server, you should run CVSup as follows # to keep your CVS tree up-to-date: # # cvsup ports-supfile # # If not running X, or invoking cvsup from a non-interactive script, then # run it as follows: # # cvsup -g -L 2 ports-supfile # # You may wish to change some of the settings in this file to better # suit your system: # # host=CHANGE_THIS.FreeBSD.org # This specifies the server host which will supply the # file updates. You must change it to one of the CVSup # mirror sites listed in the FreeBSD Handbook at # http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/mirrors.html. # You can override this setting on the command line # with cvsup's "-h host" option. # # base=/usr # This specifies the root where CVSup will store information # about the collections you have transferred to your system. # A setting of "/usr" will generate this information in # /usr/sup. Even if you are CVSupping a large number of # collections, you will be hard pressed to generate more than # ~1MB of data in this directory. You can override the # "base" setting on the command line with cvsup's "-b base" # option. This directory must exist in order to run CVSup. # # prefix=/usr # This specifies where to place the requested files. A # setting of "/usr" will place all of the files requested # in "/usr/ports" (e.g., "/usr/ports/devel", "/usr/ports/lang"). # The prefix directory must exist in order to run CVSup. # Defaults that apply to all the collections # # IMPORTANT: Change the next line to use one of the CVSup mirror sites # listed at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/mirrors.html. *default host=cvsup3.FreeBSD.org *default base=/usr *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs tag=. *default delete use-rel-suffix # If your network link is a T1 or faster, comment out the following line. *default compress ## Ports Collection. # # The easiest way to get the ports tree is to use the "ports-all" # mega-collection. It includes all of the individual "ports-*" # collections, #ports-all # These are the individual collections that make up "ports-all". If you # use these, be sure to comment out "ports-all" above. # # Be sure to ALWAYS cvsup the ports-base collection if you use any of the # other individual collections below. ports-base is a mandatory collection # for the ports collection, and your ports may not build correctly if it # is not kept up to date. ports-base #ports-archivers #ports-astro #ports-audio #ports-benchmarks #ports-biology #ports-cad #ports-chinese #ports-comms #ports-converters #ports-databases #ports-deskutils #ports-devel #ports-editors #ports-emulators #ports-french #ports-ftp #ports-games #ports-german #ports-graphics #ports-hebrew #ports-irc #ports-japanese #ports-java #ports-korean #ports-lang #ports-mail #ports-math #ports-mbone #ports-misc #ports-net #ports-news #ports-palm #ports-print #ports-russian ports-security ports-shells #ports-sysutils #ports-textproc #ports-vietnamese #ports-www #ports-x11 #ports-x11-clocks #ports-x11-fm #ports-x11-fonts #ports-x11-servers #ports-x11-toolkits #ports-x11-wm ports-kde I even tried to replace the hostname with their ip address and still did not work! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
