requesting some info on CVSUP (some is help related, others are your own personal preferences)
I'll just go based on the lines in the SUPFILE of interest: 1) *default base=/var/db Does anyone use anything else? Why (I mean beyond my database isn't in /var/db, Why isn't it there)? 2) *default prefix=/usr Anyone have their ports prefix someplace other than /usr? Again why is it elsewhere? 3) *default release=cvs tag=. OK, what other options are there for release/tag, and where can I find them? For tag, I know of RELENG_#, and I suspect there is also CURRENT_# and STABLE_#, is there any other, such as RELENG_#_#, etc? Any release other than CVS 4) *default delete use-rel-suffix I'm somewhat being a lazy bastard here, I know there's more about this in the man page, there's delete, use-rel-suffix, and a couple of other mentioned, but could I get a better explanation than there is there? Thanks, I mentioned the need for a GUI tool to make ports/cvsup more easy for the noob, and since I need to get some java experience to make myself look good for prospective employers, I'm going to try it. Don't worry, I plan to make a clone in a better language when I'm done.

You can use either tag= or date= date= is useful if you know a specific port worked on a certain day and was broken afterwards, or if you're rolling out several machines over a period of time and want to ensure they all have the same ports tree for consistency sake. tag=. means latest. The ports tree doesn't have other tags. The source tree has RELENG tags, and tag=. is head (again: latest).

OK, thanks. I knew about the date part, but as I could simply do three drop downs (month, day, year), date isn't too difficult. -Jim On 6/30/06, Bill Moran [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Jim Stapleton [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: 3) *default release=cvs tag=.

Why (I mean beyond my database isn't in /var/db, Why isn't it there)? base is the place for cvsup to store its files in sup directory. I have set it to /misc. 2) *default prefix=/usr Anyone have their ports prefix someplace other than /usr? Again why is it elsewhere? Sure, it in /misc, which has much more free space than /usr which has space only for the base system files (plus some room to cope with the growth). - Parv -- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The advantage of FreeBSD over other OS's is that not only can you try it for free, keep it for free if you like it, but you can also use it for free in whole or part for most anything you want without obligation to give away your own work for free. Could do the same with Linux but you would have to hire a lawyer to help you keep GPL from infecting your unique product additions. -- David Kelly N4HHE, [EMAIL PROTECTED] = The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.

First read the information at www.freebsd.org. There is so much there that will help you answer that question and draw your own conlusions. Then we can help you usefully. Then the most basic I can make it is when it works it works really well and keeps working. There is a fairly steep learning curve to get a number of things working.
