Re: Question about cvsup
Thanks for a very helpful response. I have another query. As a matter of practice, is it a good idea to upgrade ports immediately after a kernel compile ? I do not expect that the ports depend directly on the kernel (for most changes in kernel), though I could well be wrong (for instance cdrecord on linux had major problems after the 2.6.9 kernel came out).

Question about cvsup
Hi I am new to FreeBSD and trying to use CVSup after someone suggested it to me on comp.unix.misc.bsd.freebsd. My supfile : *default tag=. *default host=cvsup.FreeBSD.org *default prefix=/usr *default base=/var/db *default release=cvs delete use-rel-suffix compress ports-all release=cvs I ran cvsup and upgraded the ports that came with FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE. Now when I try to install some zope products, I get broken dependencies, and in some case (more odd IMO) syntax errors (misplaced return statements) that get ignored and the product installs, seemingly without any problems. Was I wrong to use tag=. above ? If so, should I use RELENG_5_3 to ensure that things don't break like this ? The server in question is supposed to run a plone based website, and stability is important. Thanks. PS : Prior to settling on FreeBSD, I dallied for a while with OpenBSD where matching the ports version with the release version was paramount, a constraint that seems absent here. Or am I making a blunder here ? :) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

About cvsup
Dear All, Some newbie question to ask: I want to update my kernel sources on 5.3-Release. I have used cvsup with src-sys uncommented on the supfile. After it finishes its job, it just creates the ,v and Attic files and no update is happend on my sources. There are even new files (,v) and no file creation is happend. I just see the ,v files when cvsup finishes its jobs and says finished successfully. And in the ,v file i can see the changes. What i can do to update my kernel files? Did I have to build the world ?

You didn't set tag, eg. tag=RELENG_5 without a tag cvsup will fetch you a copy of the repository rather than a snapshot (AFAIK). Also, you may prefer to cvsup src-all rather than just src-sys to get sources for building world.

The handbook has a list of cvs tags in the appendix. You will want RELENG_5_3 or RELENG_5, choosing the latter and updating regularly will give a gradual upgrade. You probably don't want . which is CURRENT, the bleeding edge (aka 6.0-CURRENT), and may give you some surprises. The tag HEAD is a symbolic reference to .. At least, I suggest you wait jumping head first till you feel comfortable with the whole process.

question about cvsup
If I install applications from the ports tree and make all the configuration changes then upgrade my system using cvsup, will that break all the installed applications? Like say one of my apps has been updated for a security hole, will it break it?

To upgrade an application after you have updated its source with cvsup, portupgrade is excellent. I'd recommend installing it, reading the man page, and using it to upgrade your applications.
