Hello, it looks like updating source/ports via csup does not work for some time. I was using for a long time simple command sequence csup -h cvsup.freebsd.org /usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile csup -h cvsup.freebsd.org /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile to update both source files and ports collection. For some (maybe five) days there is nothing updated. Is svn-to-cvs stil working? In some mail there was announced February 2013 as last time it will work (writing from my memory, not looking up this mail in some archive, so I could be wrong). As I will need to change my work flow anyhow in some not too distant future, I decided to test freebsd-update, which should be able to update system sources along with binaries in compiled form. I need only the former, but that's just me (and knowing how to use it for userland binaries/kernel update is not bad anyway). When I tried it, however, all I saw was this: # freebsd-update fetch Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 3 mirrors found. Fetching public key from update5.FreeBSD.org... failed. Fetching public key from update4.FreeBSD.org... failed. Fetching public key from update3.FreeBSD.org... failed. No mirrors remaining, giving up. So no joy here - no files fetched. I was using /etc/freebsd-update.conf untouched, as installed on system, or copied from /usr/src/etc directory if it did not exist on my system. Is there anything I could try to find the root cause it does not work for me? I am sure it is used by others and I did not see any message about it not working (at least not today or in not too distant past). Regards, Milan
