Re: portsnap and cvsup for rebuilding world - Which one?
Stick with what has been posted, documented and tried and tested more importantly your having issues finding solid docs to support your task...using cvsup you have handbook docs and freebsd diary to use don't reinvent the wheel On Sat, 3 Mar 2007 8:30 pm, Brandon S.

If so, of what use is portsnap if I must use cvsup for synchronizing my source? It's a little out of date; instead of cvsup, you use csup which is in the base system (and only supports updating the base system, hence portsnap). -- brandon s. allbery[linux,solaris,freebsd,perl] [EMAIL PROTECTED] system administrator [openafs,heimdal,too many hats] [EMAIL PROTECTED] electrical and computer engineering, carnegie mellon university KF8NH ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Michael Belz System Administrator Sky River Management 702.336.9418 Sent from Sidekick 2 ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Exactly there is a source and ports example files in usr/share/examples/cvsup dir perform each individually ggood reply sir!

So if I understand well, i must use CVSup (or csup) to ``synchronize my source''. But if I use CVSup, will it update my ports tree also? Then portsnap really becomes useless, unless I only want to update my ports tree, right? Thanks! =) frzburn You can update both using cvsup, once you've installed the cvsup client, and decided what to checkout(sync), you can use the examples in /usr/share/examples/cvsup to sync exactly what you want. ie; for just syncing your source, you might want to use: *default host=cvsup.uk.freebsd.org (or a closer mirror) *default base=/var/db *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs tag=$TAG (where $tag is RELENG_6 for 6.x -STABLE/RELENG_6_2 for 6.2+Security/. for -CURRENT) *default delete use-rel-suffix *default compress src-all Thanks, J P.S: please use Reply all so that your responses also get sent to the mailing list ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Michael Belz System Administrator Sky River Management 702.336.9418 Sent from Sidekick 2 ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
