I managed to get cvsup to update a very small part of the tree when I just switched from RELENG_4_8 to '.' as the tag (which is supposed to fetch current, right?). So I have no idea what to do now. :-( > (at the end of the page there is a mirror list). > > You could also use ports/sysutils/fastest_cvsup to find the most > responsive mirror for you. I tried that, too, but thanks for the notice. Anyone else has any advice, anything I should try at all? This is really annoying...

Err, if it managed to download one file, it should be able to the rest, too, at least AFAICS). Maybe you should try a different cvsup mirror: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html (at the end of the page there is a mirror list). You could also use ports/sysutils/fastest_cvsup to find the most responsive mirror for you. Simon signature.asc Description: Digital signature
Can't get cvsup to work behind NAT
[ I'm not subscribed to this list yet, so please Cc: me on replies if you can. ] Hi folks, This is my first time installing and running FreeBSD, so I decided I'd give it a shot in VMware first so I could be free to do stupid things. Anyway, I have the system installed now, got some ports and all, and wanted to check out RELENG_4_8 from a cvsup mirror to bring the system up to date, but it just won't work. Sometimes it gets stuck updating src/UPDATING (to be sure, I erased it, and it manages to download it again), but that's as far as it goes. cvsup(1) says that if I can reach the server's port 5999, I'm good to go. Am I doing something wrong? The host operating system behind VMware is Linux (Debian sid), by the way.
