======================================
Hi Steve,
Your supfile line that has " *default tag=. " is going to download source code
for current when you uncomment the " #src-all " line. If you're intending to
follow current, that's fine. But, if you're going for 4.10 or 5.2.1, then you
need a different default tag line. Until you go through the makeworld
sequence, it won't bite you, on second thought, it probably will. Below is
the supfile that I use:
*default tag=RELENG_5_2
*default host=cvsup15.FreeBSD.org
*default prefix=/usr
*default base=/usr
*default release=cvs
*default delete use-rel-suffix
#src-all
ports-all tag=.
#doc-all
I would suggest using sysutils/fastest_cvsup. You can either do a pkg_add -r,
or build it from the ports.
If you just installed FreeBSD, I would do a src-all to get all the latest
patches, and after that to get new patches Other than that, you're just
using bandwidth. There are more changes going on in the ports, so you would
be upgrading there the most. Be sure to read usr/src/UPGRADING and
usr/ports/UPGRADING.
