Hello,
First: Ports are independent of the version of your system. Second: Updating your system is described here.
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cutting-edge.html
But it is not a short howto. :-)
The short path is something like this.
copy and edit /usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile like you did with ports-supfile
run cvsup -g -L 2 <your-supfile>
read the end of /usr/src/UPDATING where the steps to update your system are explained.
It wil be something like:
cd /usr/src
make buildworld
make buildkernel KERNCONF=<your-kernel>
make installkernel KERNCONF=<your-kernel>
reboot
if <cannot-boot> (happens seldom or never)
boot with old kernel (/boot/kernel.old/kernel) and mv /boot/kernel.old to /boot/kernel.
else
cd /usr/src
make installworld
reboot
But see UPDATING for explanation.
Ronald.

Dear,
I am still confusing about FreeBSD versioning.
MY SYSTEM:
- I install the freebsd 5_3 release: kern.osreldate: 503001 FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE #0: Tue Nov 9 13:34:27 CET 2004
- I cvsup the ports collection cvsup -g -L 2 /root/ports-supfile (ok)
- I upgrade the ports collection
pkgdb -F
portupgrade -a
(14 hours, ok except for mplayer-skins, even with packages : size mismatch)
If I understand correctly, I am - in the stable branch (RELENG_5) - but not up-to-date, because i installed a release (RELENG_5_3)
MY QUESTIONS :
- which system do I now have ? a mixed between 5.3R and 5.3STABLE ? :
example:
for packages
5_STABLE has got teTeX-latex2e but not 5_3R (which sysinstall think I have)
for ports
/usr/ports/print/tetex-latex2e is present (*but does not make : error reported
at the end of this mail)
- how to upgrade to 5.3 stable ? make world ? (cvs/portupgrade again before ?)
Thanks in advance for your time.
