similar to: 5.1 release cvsuping

my ports database seems to have become broken. I'm running -stable, but haven't rebuilt the system in a year or so (I know, security vulerabilities, but the box has been shelved in this time). anyhow, at this point, I can't do even a make clean in ports, or build portupgrade. I fetched portupgrade with pkg_add hoping that running pkgdb -F would sort things out, but it errors with: **

Hello, My company has been asked to help with the upgrade of several Freebsd systems that are pretty old. The customer is running a file server samba also running apache running FBSD 4.2, he wants to upgrade using cvsup & the make buildworld procedure to upgrade to 5.x. Im very familier with the make buildworld procedure however there have been significant changes between 4.2 & 5.x so is

There used to be messages on this list around the time of a new release, letting people know what was happening, but that isn't happening this time. What list should the following question be directed to, if not this one? My auto-download program snagged a copy of the 5.1-RELEASE install ISO yesterday morning, but no release announcement was made. The directories exist on most, if not all

Greetings, I cvsup'd and rebuilt a FreeBSD 4.8 system last Friday after receiving the realpath security advisory. The machine is remote and the NIC uses the rl driver. After booting the machine I had no network connectivity. The person at the remote site says the boot was normal and he could see that the NIC was properly configured but he could not ping it and I could not login. We booted

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 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

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

As others have noted, Tor's patch appears to be a total solution to the recent instability the PAE patch introduced. So, if you're experiencing panics with a recent kernel, or are in a position to stress a machine, please cvsup and give it a test!

Hello. Dont know is this list right for this topic, but dont know witch one is. So I got 6.3-STABLE-200807-amd64-disc1.iso I have installed it cd /usr/ports/net/cvsup-without-gui/ make install make clean #cvsup some-stable-sup-file Connected to cvsup.xxxxxx.ru Bus error (core dumped) I cant get fresh src and ports trees and cant compile fresh 6.X-stable system with athlon64 optimization. :(

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 couldn't compile any thing after upgrading 4.6.2 to 4.8 via cvsup I also updated ports via cvsup And nothing would compile, nothing, just error after error I cd /usr/ports did a -"make clean"- (which takes over an hour on my machine) Now all my compile problems have gone away I think I will cd to /usr/ports after doing anything with cvsup or any install, just in case or am I

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

Hello.. I've noticed a delay between when the security advisories are sent and when the cvsup servers, ftp mirrors and web mirrors are updated. Is this delay on purpose to give the users some time to update/patch their system(s) before it hit pages like bugtraq, etc.. or is it just a caused by the delay between when the ftp/cvsup servers are synced? Best regard, Jesper Wallin

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

CVSup is slow, insecure, and a memory hog. However, until now it's been the only option for keeping an up-to-date ports tree, and (thanks to all of the recent work on vuxml and portaudit) it has become quite obvious that keeping an up-to-date ports tree is very important. To provide a secure, lightweight, and fast alternative to CVSup, I've written portsnap. As the name suggests, this
