Update the ports tree in FreeBSD 7.x

| No Comments

I finally found a resource that concisely showed me how to update my FreeBSD ports tree, so I'm adding it here so I won't forget.


cp /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile /root

Next, edit the ports-supfile with the host of a responsive update server. Ping cvsupX.us.freebsd.org until you get a good response. Then add that server to the file under "default host"

csup -g -L 2 /root/ports-supfile
