Question on cvsupit Hello, I have been trying for the last few days to figure out how to update the ports collection via the cvsup process. I have two different books on FreeBSD version 5.x and both say to use this cvsupit program but I cannot find it any where. I have FreeBSD release 5.3 install and created a user account that I can su in. I would like to be able to update the ports collections and FreeBSD source so that I can custom compile various ports and FreeBSD. Does any one have any idea where the cvsupit program is. I have tired installing cvsup-16.1h and cvsup-without-gui via both pkg_add, sysinstall, and the ports make/install process but I still cannot find this cvsupit program. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong? I am still learning FreeBSD so I probably missing something simple some where?

This is the best place to get info on that, and there are good walk through's as well: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html generally speaking, after reading the link above, copy one of the files located in: /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ to /etc or /usr/local/etc or some-such-place, edit it as needed and run: $ cvsup /etc/standard-supfile for example.

It was removed from the ports collection some time ago because it was broken for a long period of time and no-one in the community volunteered to fix it. You should read the cvsup documentation on the FreeBSD website, which is up-to-date and comprehensive. Kris pgpEIkuiQkgjt.pgp Description: PGP signature
