Re: Update and install new packages immediate after installation
Hi folks, FreeBSD-6.2-amd64 Just finished installing the captioned OS which is now working. There is no major desktop running on the OS, such as KDE/Gnome/Xfce, as well as some other necessary applications. I'll erase the OS soon to make another installation with new partitions arrangement. On the 2nd round I'll also make the same installation. Please advise after installation completed how to read on CVS on the website to fetch fresh ports and src tree that I need installing further packages and updating the system. Also how to read about its package management and how to startup. I expect first to update the system before doing any further installations and/or customizations. Pointers would be appreciated. TIA It is well documented in the handbook, but basically, install cvsup from ports: /usr/ports/net/cvsup Then run the cvsup for source and ports. Then do your buildworld, buildkernel and installkernel stuff and reboot. Clean up stuff and then do your installworld Then do the mergemaster-- if this a brand new install that might might not be needed but won't hurt. Now you can install all your other ports. They were updated when you ran the cvsup at the same time as the source if you put both in your cvsup control file (supfile). Just for clarity, I name my supfiles after the version I CVSUP to. SO for 6.2 I call it: supfile62and the contents are as follows. One other thing, You might want to do all the major operations inside of a script session in order to capture messages in case you need to go back and review them. See script(1) The handbook should get you all else that you need. jerry -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- # $FreeBSD: src/share/examples/cvsup/standard-supfile,v 1.23.4.2.2.1 2006/05/06 07:41:03 scottl Exp $ # # cvsup standard-supfile # # If not running X, or invoking cvsup from a non-interactive script, then # run it as follows: # # cvsup -g -L 2 standard-supfile # # eg do: cvsup -g -L 2 supfile62 # *default host=cvsup.FreeBSD.org *default base=/var/db *default prefix=/usr *default tag=RELENG_6_2 *default release=cvs *default delete use-rel-suffix *default compress ## Main Source Tree. # The easiest way to get the main source tree is to use the src-all # mega-collection.

You don't need to install cvsup on FreeBSD 6.2 because csup is in the base system. csup is cvsup rewritten in C rather than Modula-3. Works pretty much exactly the same way, reads the same supfiles etc. Apart from using csup instead of cvsup, the rest of the instructions are good.

There are sections on these topics in the FreeBSD Handbook. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html Specifically, installing new ports has its own section http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports.html and for getting updates (generally through cvsup rather than directly accessing cvs remotely), see the section on the cutting edge: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cutting-edge.html ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
