Sorry for being too terse in my first post. Seems like I should have a closer
look at freebsd-update. "Of course" I have lines like this in my /etc/make.conf
on each machine that I update from sources:
SUP_UPDATE= yes
SUP= /usr/bin/csup
SUPFLAGS= -g -L 2
SUPHOST= cvsup2.de.freebsd.org
SUPFILE= /usr/share/examples/cvsup/standard-supfile
PORTSSUPFILE= /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile
And yes, guilty of never ever re-evaluating that mechanism since FreeBSD 2.x.
The only change I ever made was replacing cvsup with csup, once the latter
became available. And I did not know "make update" had a default without
any configuration.
That's why I ask stupid questions about whatever it is people use nowadays.
Thanks,
Patrick
