Note that -release is defined by what is shipped on the official CD sets. Once shipped, -release does not change. The -stable branch *may* change due to released patches, but discussion on misc@ of late indicates that updating the ports tree for -stable is/has become a casualty of having too few available for maintenance. The rest of this message discusses -stable. Similar to discussion found Section 5.3.3 of the FAQ: http://openbsd.org/faq/faq5.html#BldBinary Note what trees are exposed by CVS: http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/ & substitute the ports branch for what is found in Section 5.3.3. ie. # cd /usr # export [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs # cvs -d$CVSROOT checkout -rOPENBSD_4_2 -P ports ...which assumes you are running OpenBSD 4.2. This will be done only once. Subsequent updates will resemble: # cd /usr/ports # export [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs # cvs -d$CVSROOT up -rOPENBSD_4_2 -Pd As an important warning, be sure to specify the OPENBSD_4_2 tag. Otherwise, you will soon begin to experience the weirdnesses described in: http://openbsd.org/faq/faq15.html#NoFun _______________________________________________ Openbsd-newbies mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.theapt.org/listinfo/openbsd-newbies
