Thanks for the tips! Still having the same problem though...
I have changed the tag in my supfile to:
*default tag=RELENG_5_5
I then removed the directory '/usr/src/contrib/cvs' and ran cvsup again.
But when I run 'make buildworld' I still get the previous error.
===> gnu/usr.bin/cvs/contrib
sed -e 's,@CSH@,/bin/csh,' -e '[EMAIL PROTECTED]@,/usr/bin/perl,'
/usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/cvs/contrib/../../../../contrib/cvs/contrib/Makefile.in
> Makefile
"Makefile", line 15: Need an operator
make: fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue
*** Error code 1
Stop in usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/cvs.
I assume this means it is not a problem with timestamps. What is causing
this and is it easily fixed?

Hello,
I am trying to update my version of FreeBSD from 5.4 to 5.5-STABLE. This
is one of the many things I've yet to get my feet wet with yet, and so
I'm
not entirely sure what it is I am doing. I've made a backup of my most
critical work.
Some links I've found describing this process:
1.
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html
2. http://www.nabble.com/Upgrading-FreeBSD-Questions-t4716949.html
So far I've run cvsup with a line in it:
*default tag=RELENG_5_5_0_RELEASE
After a long time it said that it finished successfully. Regardless, I'm
not sure if the line I used is correct to get 5.5 STABLE.
No, correct tag for 5-STABLE is RELENG_5 (or, if by "5.5 STABLE" you mean
5.5
with security patches, tag should be RELENG_5_5). See
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvs-tags.html
Then I ran:
% make buildworld
===> gnu/usr.bin/cvs/contrib
sed -e 's,@CSH@,/bin/csh,' -e '[EMAIL PROTECTED]@,/usr/bin/perl,'
/usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/cvs/contrib/../../../../contrib/cvs/contrib/Makefile..

I've seen this error before, it has something to do with timestamps in
src/contrib/cvs (I've copied source tree using cp). Try
removing /usr/src/contrib/cvs directory and cvsup again.
Unfortunately, I typed all that out by hand and so it is quite possible
there is a typo or two, but that is the general jist of it all. Is there
someone who knows what is going on with this? All answers/tips are
greatly
appreciated!
