FWIW I suggest you keep the whole collection because once you have it set up it does not take much time to keep the collection up to date because the ports does not include the pkg. david ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I STONGLY suggest you read the handbook. Then, read it again. Then once more for good measure. CVS is NOT hard IF you take the time to READ and LEARN.

You are the type of user that will download a tarball, try to install it, then complain that it don't work. Never mind the fact that you have packages and ports. You will be the user that EXPECTS everything you download, to run automagically without an ounce of knowledge of how to use the powerfull OS and it's tools you seemed to have muddled through installing, right at your fingertips.

He was asking about using CVSUP to track ports on a one by one basis. What he didn't understand is that a person really wants to CVSUP the whole ports tree. It's a fair misunderstanding if one starts with an FTP-ish RPM-ish mindset. John Chen's answer was appropriate. To Efren I add the following. You may also want to read up on 'refuse' files as documented in the cvsup(1) man page. I don't recommend using them though.

Jason, David, Chen and the others, !=Chris, I don't lose my time to answering him because I wouldn't have time to read the CVSup man pages as Chris suggests, jajajajaja thanks for your help --- Chris [EMAIL PROTECTED] escribió: vizion wrote: -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:owner-freebsd- [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Efren Bravo Sent: Friday, November 25, 2005 10:39 AM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: CVSup doubts Hi, I'm trying to configure CVSup to download only ports but I've several doubts about it.

Especially the parts that describe The Ports and the Packages. If you still have questions after reading the relevant Handbook bits, then please feel free to ask here for any details. - Giorgos ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you want to update/upgrade your installed ports, you have to use something like sysutils/portupgrade. 2- For instance if I'm just interested in updating /usr/ports/net ports, do I do it commenting the ports-all line and comment out ports-net line? 3- I don't have the /usr/ports/net-im folder, Can I add the line ports-net-im, to download his content? It's always safer to use ports-all, as most ports have dependencies on ports outside its immediate tree. If you don't update all dependancies you almost always have trouble building your desired port.
