I would like to upgrade a 4.7 box to 4.9 via cvsup. I changed the supfile to: *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4_9 I then ran cvsup -g -L 2 ~/ports-supfile cvsup proceeded to delete all of the old ports and will not pull any new ones down on subsequent runs. If anyone could shed some light on this I would really appreciate it. Thanks, Dennis

If you really want, you can use the release tag RELEASE_4_9_0, but with ports you probably really want HEAD so you get up to date ports. -- Brooks -- Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.

Sounds like you are using the wrong supfile. It should be stable-supfile for updating to 4.9. ports-supfile is for updating the ports tree and should use a tag=. to get the most current port tree since there is not a stable and current branch for ports.

WARNING! LOOK OUT! VORSICHT! # # If you add any of the ports or doc collections to this file, be sure to # specify them with a "tag" value set to ".", like this: # # ports-all tag=. # doc-all tag=. # # If you leave out the "tag=." portion, CVSup will delete all of # the files in your ports or doc tree. That is because the ports and doc # collections do not use the same tags as the main part of the FreeBSD # source tree. Hope that helps. Jaco
