thanks your answers. I use the ports-supfile and stable-supfile under
/usr/share/examples/cvsup to do upgrade.
I think I understand what the difference between the pkg_add and "make
install".
That is if I want to install the latest version, I should use the
"make install" or get the xxx.tbz from the freebsd-current directory.
Is it correct?
Could I make the default directory from 5.3-release to 6.0-current by
change one configuration file? If I want to override the default
fetching site of "pkg_add" command by some faster sites, how can I do?
