You are rihgt and thanks a lot for help. Only after reading your
answer I realized that the firewall may be the reason for this
behavior. And it is indeed. A simple rule change solved the problem.

"Connection refused" means that you didn't even get to *ask* the
server if it had updates.  So you're doing something wrong before
that.  Please show the exact command you used, the supfile, and the
output from cvsup.

freebsd 4.9 and ports cvsup

2005-07-16 Thread Cezar Fistik
Hi all,

I need to upgrade some applications with many dependencies on an older
4.9 system. I was thinking to start with ports tree upgrade but when
I try to run cvsup I get connection refused messages from all cvsup
servers I tried, meaning that there's no a fresh port tree for version
4.9. So, I'm a little bit stuck, I cannot get a fresh ports tree and I
cannot get updated binaries through pkg_add either. What would you
suggest to do in such situation. Upgrading the whole system to a newer
version would be too much pain. I'd appreciate any advise.

Thanks.
