It can be found at http://www.daemonology.net/freebsd-update/ Grez.. Thanks everyone for your help. I manage to do a source upgrade. I did not know if it would be this involved. Updating the source was simple, but a little tedious. I never thought I would be compiling so many different things, which made me a little hesitate at first. Graham, thank for the info on the binary update. This is exactly the kind of tool I wanted. For a second there I thought my supfile would do a binary update.

CVSup supfilesrc-all question
I just finished reading the Handbook for CVSup. It appears to be a very simple process. I'm currently running FreeBSD 4.8 and from my understanding you can keep your sources up to date via CVSup. Does this mean if I were to do a fresh install of FreeBSD 4.8 and then CVSup my source all known security issues would be resolved for the particular FreeBSD I'm running? Would the following supfile update all of my sources for FreeBSD 4.8? *default tag=RELENG_4_8 *default host cvsup3.FreeBSD.org *default prefix=/usr *default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup *default release=cvs delete use-rel-suffix compress src-all I currently update all known security issues via patch /path/to/patch method and following the instructions for each security advisor.

Not quite - it means that your sources would be up-to-date. You'd still have to build and install the updated code. -- David Fleck [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'm looking through the FreeBSD Handbook and I don't see this extra step. Running cvsup will update the files in /usr/src: # prefix=/usr # This specifies where to place the requested files. A # setting of /usr will place all of the files requested # in /usr/src (e.g., /usr/src/bin, /usr/src/lib). # The prefix directory must exist in order to run CVSup. but these are the source files, not binaries. To update your system, you need to build and install the resulting binaries. Read sections 21.3 and 21.4 of the handbook. (The process is not as scary as it sounds, but you do have to be careful.) -- David Fleck [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
