Under which directory shall I run
- make buildkernel/make installkernel
or
- make buildworld/make installworld

Hereinunder are the content of my
/usr/local/etc/cvsup/ports-supfile
....
*default host=cvsup10.freebsd.org
*default base=/usr
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=.
*default delete use-rel-suffix
#*default compress
ports-all
....

and
/usr/local/etc/cvsup/stable-supfile
....
*default host=cvsup10.FreeBSD.org
*default base=/usr
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_5_2
*default delete use-rel-suffix
#*default compress
src-all
doc-all
www
......

Whether you suggest to combine them as
/usr/local/etc/cvsup/ports+stable-supfile
....
*default host=cvsup10.freebsd.org
*default base=/usr
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=. tag=RELENG_5_2
*default delete use-rel-suffix
#*default compress
ports-all
src-all
doc-all
www
......

Or any other filename to be suggested

and only run
# cvsup -g /usr/local/etc/cvsup/ports+stable-supfile
each time

B.R.
Stephen
