So, my version at present is 5.3-BETA1 and I want to install 5.3. I supposed I could just install 5.3 over my current version, but wouldn't an upgrade work just as well?
Finally, want to make sure I have the procedure right:
??? go to: /usr/local/etc/cvsup ??? issue the following command: /usr/local/bin/cvsup -g -L 2 stable-supfile ??? once finished, then go to: /usr/src ??? enter the commands:
There are some nicer ways to do this. Check http://www.bugman.cx/cvsup/
for my make.conf, release-supfile and ports-supfile for examples. You
can
copy these three files into your /etc directory, and using the make.conf
file, you can now just 'cd /usr/src' and then issue a 'make update'.
Your
make.conf flags will tell CVSup what to do.
Make sure you edit the three files carefully, as you'll want to specify
a
local CVSup server *and* you'll want to make sure the make.conf flags
are
correct. Remember that whenever you run 'make', the commands in
make.conf
are passed as options to the make command. That means if you have
'WITHOUT_X11=true' in your make.conf file, that will get passed to every
single port build you perform.
If you already have a make.conf file you might want to just copy out the
MASTER_ lines and all of the SUP lines (including PORTSSUPFILE) and put
them into your own make.conf.
Based on information Adam Smith wrote in his last letter to my request on this subject I just wanted to be sure that I have done everything correctly.
I have edited 2 of the files, but am not certain about whether I have edited them right.
So, here they are one by one:
make.conf
MASTER_SITE_BACKUP?= \
ftp://ftp2.au.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/${DIST_SUBDIR}/
MASTER_SITE_OVERRIDE?= ${MASTER_SITE_BACKUP}
MASTER_SORT_REGEX?= ^file: ^ftp://ftp\.FreeBSD\.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/local-distfiles/ ://[^/]*\.au/ ://[^/]*\.au\.
SUP_UPDATE=yes
SUP=/usr/local/bin/cvsup
SUPFLAGS=-g -L 2 -r 0
SUPHOST=mirror.internode.on.net
SUPFILE=/etc/release-supfile
PORTSSUPFILE=/etc/ports-supfile
WITHOUT_GUI=true
WITHOUT_X11=true
WITHOUT_CUPS=false
[In the make.conf file I edited only the last line as I wanted CUPS on the server. Was that a mistake. Also, I am uncertain where to put the CVS server in this file.]
--------------------------------- ports-supfile *default host=cvsup10.us.FreeBSD.org *default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs tag=. *default delete use-rel-suffix
ports-all tag=.
[I have removed all the commented out stuff. I have made this reflect my ports-supfile, which works. Hence I changed default base, default release. I think those are the only changes I made]
-------------------------------- release-supfile *default host=cvsup10.us.FreeBSD.org *default base=/usr *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_5_3 *default delete use-rel-suffix
src-all
[Now I have never used such a supfile before, but I made changes similar to those in the ports-supfile: i.e., I changed the default host. But I wasn't sure about the default base. Then as for default release, I assume it is now 5_3?]
I really appreciate your input and help.
Curtis Vaughan
PS. You have no link to your release-supfile on your site, but do a link to a src-supfile, which doesn't work. However, by typing in release-supfile in my browser I was able to get your release-supfile.
