FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE
Just ran cvsup. Any ideas?
------
The ports collection is only guaranteed to work on the current release of
FreeBSD, which is 6.2.
You're running 4.4-REL, which is fairly old (~5.5 years -- Sep/2001) and you
should consider upgrading.
How do I do that without killing this production server?

W.D.,
You can't unfortunately. The only way to go about this is plan out a
date when you can take down the server for approximately 1-5 hours
(comfortably) depending on what you need to compile / install, and the
speed of the machine.
Another option (not really encouraged, but available), is to take
cvsup, sync to the most current 5.5 / 6.2 tree, and compile, then take
down your machine quickly into single-user mode while installing the new
kernel / world. The process is in gross detail here:
<http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cutting-edge.html>.
Also, did you know that your mail address probably is getting marked as
spam by the majority of the users on this list running anti-spam software?
Mark,
That's not true. The ports collection is supposed to work for all
versions of FreeBSD which are supported, which includes 5.x.
