FreeBSD - Updating Ports with CVSUP


2003-03-10

I. Install CVSUP

# cd /usr/ports/net/cvsup-without-gui/
# make
# make install

II. Make a ports-supfile
Look at /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile for an example ports file. You’ll need to set a cvsup server (see http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/cvsup.html).

Now type ” cvsup -g -L 2 ports-supfile” and the ports will update.
