From 17b5c290e0bbfceb3b60619f3447ce18c27f7627 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marc Fonvieille Date: Sat, 13 Aug 2005 16:42:42 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Brush up a bit the Ports CVSup method: - We currently state "Install the net/cvsup port"; let's point directly to the package, in particular cvsup-without-gui since all commands, in the text, used the legacy "-g"... - Most of people do not edit the ports-supfile and directly use the -h argument for the CVSup server, the reader should uses/knows that. - Keep, as note, the ports-supfile edition for a "hardcoded" CVSup server - I kept the odd Install the net/cvsup port. See net/cvsup-without-gui package: + + &prompt.root; pkg_add -r cvsup-without-gui + + See CVSup Installation () for more details. - As root, copy - /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile - to a new location, such as /root or your - home directory. - + Run cvsup: - - Edit ports-supfile. - + &prompt.root; cvsup -L 2 -h cvsup.FreeBSD.org /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile - Change - CHANGE_THIS.FreeBSD.org to a + cvsup.FreeBSD.org to a CVSup server near you. See CVSup Mirrors () for a complete listing of mirror sites. + + + One may want to use his own + ports-supfile, for example to avoid + the need of passing the CVSup + server on the command line. + + + + In this case, as root, copy + /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile + to a new location, such as + /root or your home + directory. + + + + Edit ports-supfile. + + + + Change + CHANGE_THIS.FreeBSD.org + to a CVSup server near + you.
