Thanks for the help there. I just followed the example in the Handbook, though to be honest I'm not quite sure what everything means. Here's my ports-upfile: *default host=cvsup2.FreeBSD.org *default base=/var/db *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs tag=. *default delete use-rel-suffix *default compress ports-all
What updates will I be getting with this? I want to be able to keep my system up to date, and I want to have a lot of the new software, but I don't want to be introducing unstable software into my system. I want to be able to keep up with PHP and Apache2 as fixes come out, but I don't want any experimental stuff running, if that makes sense. Hope you guys can lend a hand.
