 Hello everyone,

 Im on FreeBSD 5.1-Release, CVsup, portupgrade are installed.
 I want to upgrade my ports tree, so I did whats on the Handbook.
 I'v copied and edit the file - ports-supfile.
 I ran the command cvsup -g -L 2 /path/to/ports-supfile

 And it gave me the following error:

 Parsing supfile /usr/home/deadline/things/ports-supfile
 Release not specified for collection host=cvsup1.freebsd.org

 I tired to change the mirror site, Also i tried to uncomment one
 of the packages, and I tired to add ports-all to end of the entries,
 but all gave the same error, any ideas? tips? please.

 This is my ports-supfile entries:

 host=cvsup1.freebsd.org
 *default host=cvsup1.freebsd.org

You only need the one with the *default on it. It is complaining about 
the first one.

Kent

 *default base=/usr
 *default prefix=/usr
 *default release=cvs tag=.
 *default delete use-rel-suffix
 *default compress
 ports-all


 PS: This command will run as a background proccess? if i disconnect
 from internet and I connect again later (Dialup) it will resume the
 updating? or i have to download it one time?

I think it will time out and exit the process eventually, so you would
have to restart the cvsup.  You could script that, but be careful as
noted below.

 or i have to download it one time?

No, it is mostly a linear process.  Whatever is updated by the time you
disconnect will still be updated.  Then when you restart the cvsup, you
wont have to redo that part.  There is some overhead searching through
parts that don't need to be updated, so don't do it every 5minutes, but
its not huge overhead.
