I'm interested in upgrading to gnome 2.8 (and possibly the newer releases of other applications)...I'm running the following version of freebsd:

5.3-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE #0: Fri Nov 5 04:19:18 UTC 2004 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386

In starting to learn cvsup, I'm trying to figure out what I need.

The "src-all" collection seems like it is more than I want to update. Freebsd seems to be working fine on my system and I don't think that I want to upgrade any kernel or OS-related programs unless any applications that I would want depend on it.

So, if I am just interested in the latest fixes/version for applications running on 5.3-Release, should I just upgrade the ports collection ? There is an example supfile in /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile. Would this be the best configuration to use ?

Also, when I do upgrade the ports tree, I'm assuming it will just upgrade the skeleton tree, correct ? Even if I do upgrade "src-all", its not going to down load the .tar files for all the source code ?

Thanks  -K
