You need to install the cvsup package before you can go through it. First
pkg_add -r cvsup-without-gui (if you are just on a dumb terminal as I am on)
or pkg_add cvsup
After it completes, then copy the supfiles from
/usr/share/example/supfile to you home (I mean the root's home) or
anywhere you feel convinient to access. Open the stable supfile ( if
you want to track stable) in your favourite text editor ( mine is vi,
so I do vi stable-supfile). Read through the file, its well
documented. Change the hostname for the cvsup server (refer to the
handbook for cvsup locations, I generally use cvsup2.freebsd.org or
cvsup6.freebsd.org). Save the file and exit (in my case its :wq). Then
run the cvsup with the stable-supfile as argument. I do is:
cvsup -g -L 2 stable-supfile
If you want to schedule it as a cron job as I do then
cvsup -g -L 1 stable-supfile
Let it complete. Now you have an updated source tree. Refer to the
make world section of the handbook and remake the whole tree (as I
always do on a freshly installed system) or just the kernel (your
choice). You should be on track. Refer to the handbook and man cvsup
for further details. And btw its not cvup its cvsup :-). Ket us know
if you again got stuck up.

Specifically, how do you do that. I know what CVS is, but I do not know the
correct way to cvup like you say. There is a CVS command with an update
parameter. Would you be kind enough to give me the correct syntax and what
directory I should run it from?
Thanks,
Gordon

I would recommend to cvsup before going with the compile.

I did not cvsup before compiling. My /etc/make.conf only has some Perl
5.6.1
stuff in it.

Folks!
I just tried to add option IPFIREWALL etal + IPDIVERT to the
GENERIC
conf file and while doing make, the compiler errors out with error #1,
floating point exception. If I make the kernel from GENERIC with no
changes,
it builds properly. There are 5 option lines I added at the bottom of
GENERIC that I have been using for several years:
option IPFIREWALL
option IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE
option IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT=100
option IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT
option IPDIVERT
I used the traditional kernel build method I have been using for
years. Maybe the old Cyrix 333 which is a 686 class cpu is not supported
anymore??
Thanks for you help!
