A very nice worklist, except for the section above.
Thanks. I felt compelled to venture /something/. :)
I have two objections to it. The first is aesthetic, since you could
simply replace all those steps by typing:
# pkg_add -r cvsup-without-gui
True. My bad.
at the root shell prompt.
The second is a functional objection: it's a waste of time to install
cvsup-without-gui when csup(1) is in the base system (and has been
since 6.1-RELEASE or there abouts.)
Old habits die hard. :) I started using cvsup-without-gui around
3.2, and didn't realize csup was introduced to disc1. Thanks for the
"heads-up".
A typical command to download the contents of /usr/src changes from:
# cvsup -g -L 2 -h cvsup.XX.freebsd.org
/usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile
to
# csup -L 2 -h cvsup.XX.freebsd.org
/usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile
(where XX is the two letter ISO code for the country where you live
(or 'uk'))
Cheers,
Matthew
Best wishes.
