At the same time I followed the advice to modify the supfile in line with the example "stable-supfile" On running cvsup I received an error message < Realease not specified for collection "ports-all"> There is the following line in my supfile, taken from the example, which is: "ports-all tag=." Now I do want to cvsup all the ports. I am running freebsd 5.3. The other line (which may be relevant is: "*Default release=cvs tag-RELENG_5" Can anyone tell me if these lines are correct?

I hope that will solve my inconsistencies with X when I have finished cvsuping (sounds like eating while making a job application) BTW I got a fail on the .sh file for installing X asking for extract.exe -- I did not find the sources for that -- I am wondering if it goes by some other name.

What you should do is to take the supfiles in /usr/share/examples/cvsup and tweak it (all you need to do is to change the `host' specification).

You can use CVS (`info cvs') for dealing with them.

Files with a ,v suffix are RCS files, usually used by CVS. I don't think you intentionally want those files. Your supfile may have an error in it; please show us your supfile.

Ignorance and file suffixes
Hi I have tried unsuccessfuly to find out from the manual what the suffixes mean on the files collected by cvsup (e.g. "v") is there a reference for such info? As a newcomer to cvsup when reading the cvsup pages I did not see any recomendations for good practice for management or use of the files once they have been downloaded. I am pretty familar with downloading tar files and the processes of extracting and compiling. With so many packages/ports coming at the same time (I am half way through my first cvsup right now) I am wondering what I need to do when the downloads are complete!
