I want to keep my ports up to date. in 5.3-release (i386)
So I copied a sample ports-supfile and edit as follows (just changed
my host)
However I got this message and I cannot figure out what "Release"
means. In
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html#CVSUP-CONFIG-VERS
Release is defined as "cvs."
====
su-3.00# cvsup -g -L 2 ports-suprile
Parsing supfile "ports-supfile"
Release not specified for collection "host=cvsup.jp.FreeBSD.org"
====
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!!

#
# This file contains all of the "CVSup collections" that make up the
# FreeBSD-current ports collection.
#
# CVSup (CVS Update Protocol) allows you to download the latest CVS
# tree (or any branch of development therefrom) to your system easily
# and efficiently (far more so than with sup, which CVSup is aimed
# at replacing). If you're running CVSup interactively, and are
# currently using an X display server, you should run CVSup as follows
# to keep your CVS tree up-to-date:
#
# cvsup ports-supfile
#
# If not running X, or invoking cvsup from a non-interactive script, then
# run it as follows:
#
# cvsup -g -L 2 ports-supfile
#
# You may wish to change some of the settings in this file to better
# suit your system:
#
host=cvsup.jp.FreeBSD.org
# This specifies the server host which will supply the
# file updates. You must change it to one of the CVSup
# mirror sites listed in the FreeBSD Handbook at
# http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/mirrors.html.
# You can override this setting on the command line
# with cvsup's "-h host" option.
#
base=/var/db
# This specifies the root where CVSup will store
information
# about the collections you have transferred to your
system.
# A setting of "/var/db" will generate this information in
# /var/db/sup. Even if you are CVSupping a large number of
# collections, you will be hard pressed to generate more
than
# ~1MB of data in this directory. You can override the
# "base" setting on the command line with cvsup's "-b base"
# option. This directory must exist in order to run CVSup.
#
prefix=/usr
# This specifies where to place the requested files. A
# setting of "/usr" will place all of the files requested
# in "/usr/ports" (e.g., "/usr/ports/devel",
"/usr/ports/lang").
# The prefix directory must exist in order to run CVSup.
# Defaults that apply to all the collections
#
# IMPORTANT: Change the next line to use one of the CVSup mirror sites
# listed at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/mirrors.html.
*default host=cvsup.jp.FreeBSD.org
*default base=/var/db
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=.
*default delete use-rel-suffix
src-all
# If you seem to be limited by CPU rather than network or disk
bandwidth, try
# commenting out the following line. (Normally, today's CPUs are fast
enough
# that you want to run compression.)
*default compress
## Ports Collection.
#
# The easiest way to get the ports tree is to use the "ports-all"
# mega-collection. It includes all of the individual "ports-*"
# collections,
ports-all
#(after this, all are commented out)
