Not "and". Why are you mixing tools here? You're shooting
your own foot. :-)
You use _either_ freebsd-update to update your system the binary
way, _or_ you use csup to update your sources and then compile
your system from that sources.
Solution: Don't use csup. :-)
Side note: Check your update configuration files so they reflect
the proper branch you want to follow. With freebsd-update you
follow the -RELEASE-pX branch, with csup you can
a) follow -RELEASE-pX
b) follow -STABLE
c) follow -CURRENT
Note that you should not mix those! You can always switch branches
when using the source code based method (csup), but you should not
do so using freebsd-update.
An example configuration to follow -RELEASE-pX using the csup
method with "make update" would look like this:
% cat /etc/sup/release.sup
*default host=cvsup.freebsd.org
*default base=/var/db
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_9_0
*default delete use-rel-suffix
*default compress
src-all
Together with the selection in /etc/make.conf:
SUP_UPDATE= YES
SUP= /usr/bin/csup
SUPFLAGS= -L 2
SUPHOST= cvsup.freebsd.org
SUPFILE= /etc/sup/release.sup
PORTSSUPFILE= /etc/sup/ports.sup
DOCSUPFILE= /etc/sup/doc.sup
DOC_LANG= en_US.ISO8859-1 de_DE.ISO8859-1
you can easily control the process.
(Sidenote: I also have /etc/sup/stable.sup which looks like the
example provided, but has tag=RELENG_9 in it. You could also use
tag=RELENG_9_0_0_RELEASE to revert back to 9.0-RELEASE.)
You can find an example for what the CVS tags mean here:
