System: Updating the ports collection
(last edit: 2002-07-30)
                   
You need to have cvsup installed. Check if you do with the following  comand:

user@host#which cvsup

this should give you somethink like: '/usr/local/bin/cvsup' 
If not check the ports and install cvsup.

Then you need to make a sup file. 
You can find an example at /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile

this is my version:

*default tag=.
*default host=cvsup.nl.freebsd.org
*default prefix=/usr
*default base=/usr
*default release=cvs delete use-rel-suffix compress
ports-all

Put the above text in a file called 'supfile'.
Now you can update the ports collection by typing (as root):

cvsup supfile 

And sitback and wait and wait and wait (this might take a while)
