similar to: Can get no STABLE

Hi there, When I do a make buildworld and try to do a make release it will fail telling that it needs the CVSROOT directory. I do cvsup /etc/cvs-supfile and receive nothing ; # /etc/cvs-supfile *default host=cvsup3.nl.freebsd.org *default base=/usr *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4_8 *default delete use-rel-suffix *default compress cvsroot-all If I remove

Hi, I would like to follow 4-stable on my FreeBSD box, and i can't fetch binaries from /stand/sysinstall. Can anyone help me? Here is how i did: 1) I installed 4.8-RELEASE from CD, 2) I used cvsup to upgrade. For this i used the stable-supfile as shown in the Handbook. => My OS version as shown by 'uname -a' and '/stand/sysinstall' is "4.8-STABLE". It

On the advisory about the realpath problem it says that it was corrected: RELENG_4_8 src/UPDATING 1.73.2.80.2.3 src/lib/libc/stdlib/realpath.c 1.9.14.1 src/sys/conf/newvers.sh 1.44.2.29.2.2 I ran cvsup and when I look at my src/lib/libc/stdlib/realpath.c I see

Read the documentation on the meaning of the various 4.X tags, and am not sure what is meant by this: "The release branch for FreeBSD-4.6 and FreeBSD-4.6.2, used only for security advisories and other seriously critical fixes." Similar descriptions are used for the other RELENG_4_X tags. If I specify RELENG_4 will cvsup also include RELENG_4_3 to RELENG_4_8? Sorry folks - I'm

Hello, freebsd-security. I'm trying to build 4.8-RELEASE-p7 to distribute it trought my clients. What am I doing: #cd /usr/share/examples/cvsup #cvsup standard-supfile (after I've done necessary changes) #cd /usr/src #make buildworld Thus, I have /usr/obj "populated with the output of ``make buildworld''" as it described in man 7 release. Then, I have read

I'm just getting into regular use with cvsup (way over do on that one), and I tried to specify a tag=. in the cvsup file. Here's the file: # This file specifies src files are to be uploaded. *default host=cvsup2.FreeBSD.org # *default tag=RELENG_5_1_0_RELEASE *default tag=. *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs delete use-rel-suffix compress *default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup

I noticed that there were quite a few files with version ids of '$FreeBSD$' when I ran mergemaster after an install of 4.8R. This isn't right is it? What are the consequences of installing over your files with unexpanded version ids? I would like to build a release(make release) and want to know if I can continue or if this is going to be a problem for future

Hello, I am very new to FreeBSD and just installed 4.8 release. I want to upgrade this to stable. I have printed some of the pages out for makeworld and CVSUP, I am wondering what the best method for doing the updates are, downloading the individual packages and installing or using the CVSUP to do this? Currently I used mostly Red Hat Linux but have wanted to give this a try for some time

Hi. I am looking for an IPv6 capable CVSUP mirror. I found a discussion from one year ago where it was stated that CVSUP was not IPv6-capable. Does anyone know if this has changed? Sam -- Samuel Tardieu -- sam@rfc1149.net -- http://www.rfc1149.net/sam

hi guys, i have version 4.8-STABLE running. i've just update my stable-supfile and building, recompiling my custom kernel, my question is: if im going to cvsup my stable-supfile again, and compile the customed kernel again, do i have to: make buildworld, make installworld, mergemaster again or just make buildkernel KERNCONF & make install KERNCONF? hoping for your reply guys, thanks.

I'm still kind of hung up looking for some definitive answers on this issue. Perhaps you guys can help me out? Frank Date: Mon, 29 Sep 2003 17:55:33 -0500 (CDT) From: "F.

I administer a remote server and want to apply some of the security patches. (I assume this is the best way to go since I can't go into single-user mode to use CVsup). I have a couple of questions. First, I have installed one of the pgp ports to verify the patches. When I run it, I get this message: > File 'buffer46.patch.asc' has signature, but with no text. > Text is

I've built RELENG_4 isos no problem, is there a trick to building the RELENG_4_8 isos? I am building the 'miniinst' disk - that is, with the release, docs, and a port tree, but no ports. This is so I can do a fresh install without having to update the world... I am using a script that looks like this... #!/bin/sh rm -rf /usr/obj cd /usr/src make -DNOCLEAN world kernel cd
