Try this as a crontab entry: 0 3 * * * * /usr/sbin/portsnap cron update Two points to note: 1) The 'cron' verb is important for anyone setting up an automated job like this. It causes portsnap to wait for a random number of seconds (but less than 1 hour) before connecting to the portsnap server. Since the tendency is for people to schedule cron jobs to happen on the hour, this helps to avoid everyone connecting at once and smooths out the server load. 2) This assumes that you have previously run portsnap fetch extract to get yourself a portsnap-ready copy of the ports tree. You only need to do that once, but you should move aside any pre-existing copy of /usr/ports obtained by any means other than portsnap(8) before you do (but keep anything under /usr/ports/distfiles and maybe /usr/ports/packages). Something like: cd /usr mv ports ports.old mkdir ports mv ports.old/distfiles ports/distfiles mv ports.old/packages ports/packages portsnap fetch extract Although this may be complicated if any of /usr/ports, /usr/ports/distfiles or /usr/ports/packages are on a separate partition or ZFS. I say 'move aside' due to the caution imbued by having been a professional sysadmin for more years than I care to remember. If you are still convinced of your own infallibility, then you might find rm(1) an acceptable alternative. Cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil.

This is one of the reasons I maintain a local copy of the CVS repo
which I keep up-to-date via csup. Comes in quite handy at times.
In fact, the CVS repo is the *only* thing I update directly via csup.
I then do all my /usr/{doc,ports,src} updates from the local repo.
Great for creating patches for submission, too.

Hi all, Running FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE-p6 here, we've noticed that both the amd64 build of supfilesrv as installed by the sup-2.0.20060802 package AND the amd64 build of cvsupd as installed by the cvsup-without-gui-16.1h_4 package, both segmentation fault immediately upon connection. The easiest solution we've found is to simply use the i386 builds provided by packages of the same name (works fine so-long-as the lib32 compat libraries are installed). Has anybody else noticed that these two binaries seem to be misbehaving in a normal RELEASE (no jails, no vimages, just standard setup)? -- Devin _ The information contained in this message is proprietary and/or confidential.

difference between cvsup and csup?
Hello guys, I notice FreeBSD is now using (and probably has been for a while) csup instead of cvsup. The parameters looking identical - at least from the no-gui perspective. Can anyone advise what the difference is, and perhaps educate me on how this came to be?

I'm certainly not any kind of expert, but please note by examining the dependencies you will notice cvsup requires ezm3. This is a portable version of Modula-3 ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modula-3 ), upon which cvsup is designed. Csup is a rewrite of cvsup in the C language, and as such can be included as part of the base operating system. It is only linked against a few system libraries. This also means it can be built using the same tools and system compiler whenever the system itself is updated. Csup is faster, built-in, and has no third party dependencies. Theoretically it should have less potential for problems. Cvsup is a third party port, which itself depends on other third party ports. -Mike ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

There may also be licensing diffs? (I'm not sure about that off the top of my head). Hope this helps.

This was for me the only reason to keep cvsup around. But csup has caught up with this functionality eliminating the need to install and use cvsup, esp. since csup is part of the base system. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

You need to update your ports tree, which is handled separately from the base system. The simplest method is via portsnap(8) (qv http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=portsnapapropos=0sektion=0manpath=FreeBSD+8.2-RELEASEformat=html or http://tinyurl.com/3cr6ktw ) And then run portupgrade (or portmanager, or portmaster) to upgrade your installed ports. You can also use cvs to update your ports tree, but it occasionally presents certain difficulties. -- -- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Re: cvsup and versions
wayne mitchell wrote: hey, i have just cvsup'ed for first time (newbie) Cvsup as an add-on port is actually no longer needed. Csup is cvsup rewritten in C and is a part of the base OS now. Functionally identical. RELENG_8_1_RELEASE rebuilt world... there is a problem with a particular port: audio/libsndfile I am uncertain if you are aware of the difference between 'world' and installed ports. The make target of buildworld, buildkernel, etc apply to the OS itself and would pertain mostly to OS version upgrades and custom kernels. This can be reflected in the supfile you might utilize for each purpose. I keep 2 different ones, because they pull different bits. By way of example, my 'src' supfile for OS source updating will have something along the lines of: [...] *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_8_2 *default delete use-rel-suffix compress src-all The tag RELENG_8_2 is known as the security branch of Release. The only bits that change with regard to Release is the inclusion of security update patches. The src-all collection contains the OS bits. My 'ports' supfile has a different tag and collection: [...] *default release=cvs tag=. *default delete use-rel-suffix compress ports-all The ports-all collection updates the ports tree. Note the different tag. If you were to use this tag _and_ the src-all collection you would be pulling the OS bits for -HEAD. When used for ports tree refresh you will always be on the most current ports tree at each refresh. Since dependency tracking comes from the ports tree, each time it 'moves' forward (that is applications get newer with version number changes) all dependencies slide along for the ride. This is what enables one to utilize portupgrade and portmaster to keep installed applciations (and their dependencies) updated and matching version-wise. So most refresh their ports tree immediately prior to adding, installing, or updating 3rd party applications, ensuring that everything is always the latest and greatest. The possibility does exist that one may 'freeze' a ports tree in time, although not many good reasons for doing so exist. In the ports supfile can be added a date parameter which will select a version of the tree as it existed at that time. Not something I'd recommend dealing with, per se. the version in this system ports tree is 1.0.21 the set of versions available within the cvs repository are: 1.0.20, 1.0.23, 1.0.24 - but not 1.0.21 1.0.24 is latest it seems that the latest version did not carry across with the cvsup i have most documentation available have tried portupgrade - no go am stuck how do i update this individual port and is it possible to have two separate versions of same port in the tree example: to rename libsndfile dirs to libsndfile-1.0.21, libsndfile-1.0.24 for sake dependancies am guessing, though i suspect that the two installed binaries may conflict... ___ Although not particularly recommended it is possible to have one binary version of a lib reported as multiple versions. See man libmap.conf. I believe it is better to have recompiled apps linked to the correct lib, e.g. libfoo.so.3 may be possibly different enough so that when you lie to app xyz it is libfoo.so.2 app xyz may malfunction. -Mike ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

That was the next thing I was about to suggest. His FIOS router should be
running DNS itself by default, with it pointing to Verizon's name servers.
So he could try using 192.168.1.1 in his named.conf forwarders directive.
This would just recurse out to Verizon's name servers and should get a basic
external resolution going, provided he has not altered the default router
setup.
Example from mine: (don't just cut and paste but adjust as required)
options {
directory /etc/namedb;
pid-file /var/run/named/pid;
dump-file /var/dump/named_dump.db;
statistics-file /var/stats/named.stats;
listen-on { 127.0.0.1; 192.168.10.1; };
allow-recursion {127.0.0.1; 192.168.10.0/24;};
// If you've got a DNS server around at your upstream provider, enter
// its IP address here, and enable the line below. This will make you
// benefit from its cache, thus reduce overall DNS traffic in the Internet.
forwarders {
208.67.222.222; 208.67.220.220; 192.168.1.1;
};
// query-source address * port 53;
};
---/ Below are snipped out zone file directives for my local stuff /---
The first two IP addresses in my forwarders clause are for OpenDNS. You
could delete them so as to only have 192.168.1.1 and your FreeBSD's DNS
server will then forward requests to your FIOS router which will then
request from Verizon. Use of the listen-on and allow-recursion is not
necessary, but if you decide to utilize make sure they reflect values which
apply to your situation. Do rndc reload or reboot to take effect.
I think he has some other issues pending as well, but one thing at a time.

This would just recurse out to Verizon's name servers and should get a basic
external resolution going, provided he has not altered the default router
setup.
Example from mine: (don't just cut and paste but adjust as required)
options {
directory /etc/namedb;
pid-file /var/run/named/pid;
dump-file /var/dump/named_dump.db;
statistics-file /var/stats/named.stats;
listen-on { 127.0.0.1; 192.168.10.1; };
allow-recursion {127.0.0.1; 192.168.10.0/24;};
// If you've got a DNS server around at your upstream provider, enter
// its IP address here, and enable the line below. This will make you
// benefit from its cache, thus reduce overall DNS traffic in the Internet.
forwarders {
208.67.222.222; 208.67.220.220; 192.168.1.1;
};
// query-source address * port 53;
};
---/ Below are snipped out zone file directives for my local stuff /---
The first two IP addresses in my forwarders clause are for OpenDNS. You
could delete them so as to only have 192.168.1.1 and your FreeBSD's DNS
server will then forward requests to your FIOS router which will then
request from Verizon. Use of the listen-on and allow-recursion is not
necessary, but if you decide to utilize make sure they reflect values which
apply to your situation. Do rndc reload or reboot to take effect.
I think he has some other issues pending as well, but one thing at a time.

Also the rest of the network is currently working. I am writing this
to you from another machine on the same network as the bsd machien.
Even with IPv6 enabled things should still function even though IPv6 may not
actually be in use. Sometimes it happens with DNS lookups it will try
looking for an record first [IPv6], then time out and fall back to the
normal IPv4 A record. This will just show as a short wait period and
ultimately eventually resolves.
I suspect that you are not even getting this far and the problem is
something else. Just for the sake of simplifying things you could eliminate
IPv6 from the picture if you are truly not using it. However, I do not think
it is actually the cause (I could always be wrong here).
[snip - forgetting about csup and ports for now]
Not sure how this might have cause this but I edited my fstab file
with some nfs mounts like so:
192.168.1.44:/mnt/nas/mnt/nas nfs
rsize=32768,wsize=32768,timeo=14,intr
192.168.1.44:/mnt/store /mnt/store nfs
rsize=32768,wsize=32768,timeo=14,intr
192.168.1.44:/mnt/home /home nfs
rsize=32768,wsize=32768,timeo=14,intr
This truly has me confused. In the above ifconfig output it is showing an IP
address assigned of 192.168.1.44 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255.
What I do not understand at all is why you would be wanting to NFS mount
from 192.168.1.44 *to* 192.168.1.44, as indicated by the above fstab
entries.
Again, for the sake of simplification with divide and conquer, make sure all
mountd, rpcbind, nfs_server, and nfs_client daemons are deactivated.
Eliminate all things superfluous to troubleshooting the DNS problem. Once
DNS gets fixed you can add stuff back one at a time.
And when I rebooted the host pretty much it all went haywire! LDAP,
DNS, Apache, MySQL, and even ALL NETWORKING which normally started
with the host stopped working. I now have to start each one by hand
whatever I try I can't seem to resolve external hosts, tho.
So I restored the fstab file from backup and still I am stuck not
resolving.
Yes - leave fstab with no remote mounting/NFS stuff for now.
/etc/resolv.conf looks ok to me so I would think I that I could ping
out of the network. Sadly this is not the case!
You should be able to ping by IP any/all machines within your local network.
Sounds like this does work, but confirm and don't 'assume'. Next try and
ping by IP to a host out on the Internet. Since you cannot resolve any names
here is the IP to www.netbsd.org: 204.152.190.12. If you cannot ping by
IP out from your network to the outside you do not have basic gateway
connectivity working. If this is the case it will have to get fixed first.

If you are attempting this from the same machine as you are running BIND on,
it might be better for it's resolv.conf to look like this instead:
nameserver 127.0.0.1
nameserver 192.168.1.1
192.168.1.1 is my FIOS router which has it's own DNS server. It is also
pointed at the same OpenDNS servers as my forwarders directive (a snippet
from my named.conf below:)
listen-on { 127.0.0.1; 192.168.10.1; };
allow-recursion {127.0.0.1; 192.168.10.0/24;};
forwarders {
208.67.222.222; 208.67.220.220; 192.168.1.1;
};
My local DNS on my gateway/firewall box is a hybrid which only has zones for
my local .test.zip 192.168.10.0/24 LAN. All other requests get forwarded out

You need to fix this first, then worry about why the DNS is not working. Start with simple things such as substituting a known good cable from a working machine. Examine the LEDs on both the NIC and the hub/switch. Usually these will not be lit if there is no link. Is the hub/switch defective? Or locked up? I've seen hubs and switches lock up and a power cycle would make them operate again, for a while. Hubs or switches that lock up have an intermittent defect and should not be depended upon for the long run. Verify if you are using the correct driver. What version is the OS? Search bug reports and mail lists for known issues, e.g. such as someone else reported a problem with quite similar symptoms and the devs have already addressed it in HEAD and possibly MFC'd it to STABLE. Of course, if there is a fix you can't get at it until your network works. But you can also back up the train and tell us things like: did it used to work? and what did you do, or change, that made it begin not working? Some more details might give the 'fresh set of eyes' more to work with.

strage tag behaviour with cvsup

RELENG_8_0 Yes. This will give you the latest 8.0 release + desired patch level (critical security patches). This is almost certain what you want to be running before going to production status.

Operating not permitted makes it seem more like a networking issue on the local machine. Can you ping the IP? Firewall blocking outgoing ports? I pinged a few of the mirror sites to choose the fastest one, so, yes I can ping them. I turned off PF temporarily to see if it could be a firewall problem. No difference. I'm also having problems installing ports. I wanted to get vim installed while trying to figure out this port upgrade problem. Vim uses lots of files and a bunch of them downloaded when I typed 'make install clean', but then I ran into a batch that give an error message like below. I can fetch the files manually, using wget (which installed with no problem), but I'm getting a lot of these problems, which means its going to take about 5 years to install all the ports I need.

Hi Neil, You could try ports-mgmt/portdowngrade (http://bit.ly/3bqoPU), but it may only work on one port at a time.

difference between cvsup and portsnap
Here at my work we use FreeBSD in production. We have the following debate and wish to know better the differences between cvsup(csup) and portsnap. One of my co-workers think that portsnap should NOT be used and only gets the latest and greatest port collection, no matter what version of FreeBSD is on the server. For example, if you are still running a 5.4 stable box in production and use any of the portsnap, portupgrade, etc utilities, you would pull the current version ports and NOT from teh directory of the 5.4 ports. I.E, risk breaking the production box. So you should not use portsnap ever except for dev boxes. I have always used portsnap to set up a new machine. I have never had it pull a wrong port that I knew of. I think it has to pay attention to the version of the ports it is pulling. which is right? This is a major issue with our production servers.

The ports tree isn't branched; note the lack of a tag= entry in the example ports-supfile. csup will let you retrieve from a certain date, but that's not normal usage for the ports tree. So check your ports-supfile.

I have never had it pull a wrong port that I knew of. I think it has to pay attention to the version of the ports it is pulling. which is right? This is a major issue with our production servers. Thanks There is no 5.4 branch of the ports collection. If you're running FreeBSD 2, you have the same exact ports collection as FreeBSD 8 does (as long as you get an updated copy of the ports collection, of course). CSup gets the instant CVS revision of the ports collection. Portsnap is a bit delayed because it fetches a tarball of the collection (it doesn't check out from CVS). However, portsnap uses a secure key to verify the integrity of the snapshot retrieved. I personally use portsnap. It's also easier to script. I have this in my crontab; 0 0 * * * root/usr/sbin/portsnap -I cron update /usr/sbin/pkg_version -I -L = -v It updates the index files, not the actual ports collection itself. This way, it wont interrupt any currently running compiles or upgrades. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

As far as I understood, the ports tree is always up to date, i. e. ther's no separate tree for 5, 6 and 7 (and 8). If you update your ports tree, using portsnap or c(v)sup, you end up with the latest tree. There isn't a separate ports tree for, ket's say, 5.4-RELEASE, except you use that from the installation media (or from FTP) and DON'T update it. In addition, if you use cvsup to update your sources, you can of course specify the exact release (with patches), the release branch (stable) or the current point in development (head). There's a tool called portdowngrade (if I remember correctly) that lets you fetch ports from an older version. -- Polytropon From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

You will have to consult whois for the routing information, and then, even still the results may be inaccurate, as IP space allocated to someone in Orlando Florida may be using some of their space in Dallas Texas.

I've used this cvs mirror utility before. You're mirroring a database, which has metainfo, versioning info, plus a whole lot more. You can't simply dump this database-type of files into /usr/src and get your system to use them. (There won't be a Makefile for example). You need to store them to another location outside /usr/src -- /home/ncvs is a good place since the uid and gid that the cvs will serve as is called 'ncvs' I'd keep progressing forward, leaving the defaults alone.

Re: creating own CVSup server
Hi, me again, I also havent noticed, that there is a choice among -current or -stable. If I want to mirror just -stable (this is possible with cvsup stable-supfile), can I? thank you again On Sun, Jan 11, 2009 at 8:37 PM, Stefan Miklosovic miklosovic.free...@gmail.com wrote: Hi all, I decided to set up my own CVSup server just for my local network.

Okay, so you have the CVS tree on that tree. my real problem is that i can not do cvsup from any machine in my office. but there is no problem at home. so i simply bring my notebook home and do cvsup as above. later on at the office, i want my other machine get /usr/src from my notebook but i can not and that's my problem. Now I understand what you are trying to do. and frankly speaking my english is quite poor, i spend the whole week end to understand documents cited. Your written English is more than good enough for me to understand, so your skills are obviously much better than the way you describe yourself. Now that you have spent much time understanding some of the documents, you might be able to help others by working on the translations for whichever language you would prefer to read in. unfortunately, that bring me more problem and that's why i revert back to my instinct with cvs. Either way (cvs or cvsup) should work fine. The easiest way to use CVS directly would be to NFS-mount the CVS repository on the client, and then checking out directly. For example, if the repository were mounted on /ncvs, the checkout command might be something like (cd /usr/src ; cvs -d /ncvs co -r TAG src-all ) [I haven't tested this; I may have made an error, and I'm not sure what TAG you would want.] For using cvsup, you can install the cvsup-mirror port on the machine you want to use as the cvsup server. It will ask you a number of questions so that it can configure cvsupd properly, and you won't need to worry about it. Use whichever one you want; I don't see any reason to prefer one or the other.
