FreeBSD

# This uses system resources. # On slower boxes, it will take some time, even hours for # things to finish running. It all depends on CPU and RAM. # Also, this can require large amounts of free HD space. # Since you are rebuilding apps, things can fail, and your # whole system may die. Normally though, this won't happen. # Install cvsup cd /usr/ports/net/cvsup-without-gui/ make install all # Install fastest cvsup cd /usr/ports/sysutils/fastest_cvsup make install all # Run fastest cvsup to determine best server # Examples below (all servers, usa, or canada) fastest_cvsup -c all fastest_cvsup -c us fastest_cvsup -c ca /usr/local/bin/fastest_cvsup fastest_cvsup -c us # Edit ports supfile (as root) chmod 711 /usr/src/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile vi /usr/src/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile # Change this line to output of fastest_cvsup *default host=CHANGE_THIS.FreeBSD.org *default host=cvsup7.FreeBSD.org # Save and exit # cd to root of filesystem cd / # Update the ports tree (as root) cvsup -g -L 1 /usr/src/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile # If cvsup is not in your path, type the following /usr/local/bin/cvsup -g -L 1 /usr/src/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile # Update the ports database /usr/local/sbin/portsdb -Uu # List the installed ports which need upgrading /usr/local/sbin/portversion -l "<" # Upgrade the installed ports /usr/local/sbin/portupgrade -arR # Unless prompted, you are done at this point. # Run # /usr/local/sbin/pkgdb -F # if you are prompted to. # Run # /usr/local/sbin/pkgdb -fu # if everything goes wrong.
