am doing cvsup for the first time, and got the hang of it, but have one questions for those who used it.
is it advisable to do src-all, or should i only do ports-all
Depends on whether you want to update the OS as well as the 3rd party software ("ports").
also is this configuration decent, in your opinion
*default host=cvsup5.FreeBSD.org
*default tag=.
*default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs delete use-rel-suffix compress
ports-all tag=.
#src-all (pending feedback)
Hmm, never used seperate tags in the same SUPfile, but I guess that cvsup is smart enough to do that, considering what it does do.
For a discussion of the release tags, see the "Cutting Edge" chapter in the FreeBSD handbook[1].
Please do note that you most likely *want* to use "tag=." for ports, but *not for source*. You probably want the latest releases of ports, but it's not nearly so likely you want to be running HEAD/CURRENT on your system....

[1]For 4-STABLE, for example, your cvsup app should be looking for src files tagged "RELENG_4". _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
