Hi, all. I'm new to FreeBSD.
I'm setting up a machine to act as a webserver using:
FreeBSD 4.11-RELEASE-p12-jc2 (jail18) #0
Tonight I added the package:
cvsup-without-gui-16.1h_2
and ran:
# cvsup -g -L 2 /root/cvs-supfile
After it ran (which took over an hour), I realized I used the
"cvs-supfile" and not the "ports-supfile." I only wanted to update the
ports tree, and not download the entire CVS repository. How do I prune
this back to a manageable size? I'm going to be using this machine
(it's a VPS) as a webserver only.
Many thanks for any assistance you can offer!
Here's the relevant parts of the supfile:
*default host=cvsup9.us.FreeBSD.org
*default base=/usr
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs
*default delete use-rel-suffix
*default compress
