I guess I need to start over with a vanilla src tree from the CD? then make buildworld etc.. right ? um, to my knowledge, no. not if you've got connectivity and cvsup installed. in fact, you don't even need to remove /usr/src, because cvsup should take care of everything for you (ie. remove wrong files, add necessary ones, leave correct ones). i suspect that your standard-supfile is to blame, if anything isn't working. it could be that you're inadvertently pulling down HEAD, which is by definition, not guaranteed to build. here is a copy of my file: *default host=cvsup3.freebsd.org *default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup *default prefix=/usr/ *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4_10 *default delete use-rel-suffix compress # 1) change cvsup3 for the host you want to use # 2) change RELENG_4_10 for the tag you want # i believe that RELENG_5_2 is the correct number in your case # this will pull down any security and other critical fixes based upon # freebsd 5.2.x src-base src-bin src-contrib src-crypto src-etc src-games src-gnu src-include src-lib src-libexec src-release src-sbin src-secure src-share src-sys src-sys-crypto src-tools src-usrbin src-usrsbin #src-all #src-kerberos5 #src-kerberosIV #src-eBones 1) you might find it easier to simple use 'src-all' and comment out or delete the rest of the src-* entries. 2) if you're using a refuse file, do double check that it's contents reflect what you actually want. if you're not _100%_sure_ whether or not you have one, try 'find / -name refuse -print' 3) depending on where you placed your config files, you may not be using the correct supfile. try feeding cvsup an absolute path, just to be certain. 'cvsup /foo/path/to/your/standard-supfile' hope this helps. cheers, epi Thanks again ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Make that tag=RELENG_5_2 -- there's no such tag as the one you recommend, and trying to use that will end up deleting all of the user's files. Note too that this tag only applies to the src -- not the ports. Try this instead: *default host=ftp4.us.freebsd.org *default base=/usr *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_5_2 *default delete use-rel-suffix *default compress src-all ports-all tag=. Note too that there's not much point in only grabbing parts of the ports collection. Unless you know exactly what you're doing, you need the whole thing in order to have much change of success at using it.

Yeah, trying to grab RELENG_5_2_1 would result in your entire src tree being deleted, since there is not such branch. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Newbie Problems with cvsup and updating files
It's RELENG_5_2, not RELENG_5_2_1 Thanks all, :) I did manage to try RELENG_5_2_1 and it did wack the entire /usr/src directory after I had reloaded it from CD :) but that's ok I did make a backup up my custom kernel file so I didn't lose anything major. Just took a while waiting for the system to reload the files off the Cd. Not that it relates to this subject but reloading the files from the CD image caused /etc/master.passwd to change, my users that I added to it were gone so I had to re-add them . This wasn't a big deal I was able to fix that on my own. :) -- Regards.

Newbie Problems with cvsup and updating files.
wGreetings, I've been a newbie on FreeBSD 5.2.1 now for about a month. I Have had much success lately but I wanted to try the cvsup and update the sources (/usr/src) so I can stay current on patches and security updates. I've managed to create a cvsupfile but all the docs I've read do not instruct you how to update the old files with the new files. Does this happen automatically or do I need to create a script to do it ? I setup my cvsupfile to grab src-all and it downloaded but now I have filenames with a ,v for almost every file. Like Makefile and now there is a Makefile,v in /usr/src and make buildworld will not compile anymore. It get errors when trying to build tools. Below is a snip of my cvsupfile, did I do something wrong? or forget a step? I've followed the docs and howto's relating to this to a T as far as I can tell. Thanks in advance!
