supfile tag to use? port/src
Greetings, I am a little confused by what the website says and what the example supfiles have. I have two questions. 1. When do I use tag=.? T he website says only use this for ports, but in my /usr/share/examples/cvsup/standard-supfile the tag is set to tag=.. I thought tag=. was saying 'gimme the lastest thing available', but I could be mistaken. 2. I am running 5.2-CURRENT and I want to upgrade to 5.2.1, must I change my tag to RELENG_5_2_1? or can I use tag=., which as I understand it is suspossed to be equal to CURRENT. Isn't 5.2.1 now CURRENT? Thank you for your time in advance, -D __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

For FreeBSD-5.2 security fix branch, you can use the RELENG_5_2 tag according to the Handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook\ /cvs-tags.html 5.2.1 is not here right now. -- -jg. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You are right. /usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile is more... explicit :) What do you mean? The handbook says don't use tag=., except for ports, but the standard file has such. Which is it? Use it or don't? And if I do what branch will I be getting? http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook\ /cvs-tags.html 5.2.1 is not here right now. Looking at that url I see two tags of note: RELENG_5_2 and RELENG_5_2_1_RELEASE. is the _RELEASE tag just the 5.2.1 as it was released and no updates since? Is RELENG_5_2 current ie = 5.2.1? What I don't understand is what tag I should use to follow the 5.X series. Must I change the tag everytime a new version comes out? Is there not a tag I can use that get the lastest in the 5.x CURRENT series always? Thanks, -D __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

The reason this isn't advisable is because a bug can easly kill you system. I would advise you to use the RELENG_5_2 (i.e. 5.2 + updates) and change when the next version comes out. There aren't going to be any 5.2.1 unleas there's a good reason for.

Re: supfile tag to use? port/src SOLVED
Thank you very much to everyone that replied. I understand the differences. Best to go with a RELENG_ entry. Thanks again, the freebsd community rocks! -D Like you wrote: tag=. mean get me the latest. The reason this isn't advisable is because a bug can easly kill you system.

You are right. /usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile is more... explicit :) What do you mean? The handbook says don't use tag=., except for ports, but the standard file has such. Which is it? Use it or don't? And if I do what branch will I be getting? The standard-supfile is for -CURRENT aka the HEAD or . in cvsup(1) terminology. It seems not to be what you want here (?). In the stable-supfile you can read... # The following line is for 4-stable. If you want 3-stable or # 2.2-stable, change RELENG_4 to RELENG_3 or RELENG_2_2 # respectively. *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4 ... which is very different from . and although more clear. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook\ /cvs-tags.html 5.2.1 is not here right now. Looking at that url I see two tags of note: RELENG_5_2 and RELENG_5_2_1_RELEASE. is the _RELEASE tag just the 5.2.1 as it was released and no updates since? Is RELENG_5_2 current ie = 5.2.1? If you want o stick with: * 5.2-RELEASE, use tag RELENG_5_2_0_RELEASE * 5.2 security and fixes (-p?), use RELENG_5_2 What I don't understand is what tag I should use to follow the 5.X series. Must I change the tag everytime a new version comes out? Is there not a tag I can use that get the lastest in the 5.x CURRENT series always? HEAD is . is -CURRENT. But if you want to use this branch be sure to read carefully : http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook\ /current-stable.html -- -jg. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
