Hi folks,

I am still not very clear on the function between

# cvsup -g /usr/local/etc/cvsup/stable-supfile

and

# portupgrade -aRr

I have following questions;

1) What will be their diffenece in function

2) If having run

# cvsup -g /usr/local/etc/cvsup/ports-supfile
# cvsup -g /usr/local/etc/cvsup/stable-supfile

Whether I still need to run

# portupgrade -aRr

Yes you can do this, since cvsup retrieve's the latest sources for the ports and basesystem, while portupgrade actually uses those sources and installs them on your system..


Thus: You should first update your sources through cvsup, and then install them , or upgrade them via the ports system, or using portupgrade (For the upgrade).

Hope this helps,

Cheers
