Supfile entry |
What is does |
*default host=cvsup.ca.FreeBSD.org | The CVSup server location |
*default base=/usr | Specifies the root where CVSup
will store information about the collections you have transferred to
your system. A setting of "usr" will generate this information in
/usr/sup |
*default prefix=/usr | This specifies where to place
the requested files |
*default release=cvs | Indicates that the server should get its information out of the main FreeBSD CVS repository. |
*default tag=RELENG_4_9 | The tag=
field names a symbolic tag in the repository.
There are two kinds of tags, revision tags and branch tags. (The RELENG_4_9 branch will become tag=RELENG_4_9). |
*default delete use-rel-suffix | delete
gives CVSup permission to
delete files. You should always specify this, so that CVSup
can keep your source tree fully up-to-date. CVSup
is careful
to delete only those files for which it is responsible. Any extra files
you happen to
have will be left strictly alone. use-rel-suffix is ... arcane. If you really want to know about it, see the cvsup(1) manual page. Otherwise, just specify it and do not worry about it. |
ports-all tag=. | All the ports. Usage of only tag=. is required and applies only to the ports collections. |
src-all | All the sources |
