I will say my question clear.
If I have FreeBSD-8.2-stable, updated 2011/05/18, what I want to do is
update the current, as for example 2011/11/01. I am willing to read me a
manual that tells me how to do
this._______________________________________________
I do it like this:
put this in "stable-supfile":
*default host=cvsup.de.FreeBSD.org
*default base=/var/db
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_8
*default delete use-rel-suffix
*default compress
src-all
execute:
csup stable-supfile
cd /usr/src
make buildworld
make buildkernel
make installkernel
mergemaster -p
make installworld
mergemaster -a
reboot
You now have updated to a "current" 8-STABLE.
This is, if 8.3 would exist, you would now have 8.3-STABLE.
If you just want security patches for 8.2 and not go to 8.3 if it comes
out,
you have to define tag=RELENG_8_2
This is not the same as tag=HEAD.
tag=HEAD gives you CURRENT, which is 9.0-RC1 i believe.
Do not confuse these.
