Don't know if that could cause the problem or not. Why not look at the
provided examples in /usr/share/examples/cvsup I usually just edit
`stable-supfile' and use it.

Now you override it with ".", which means the -current branch.Quote:> *default delete use-rel-suffix
> *default tag=.
And now you get the sources for FreeBSD-current.Quote:> src-all
If you want to use -stable, I'd suggest you remove the line with "tag=."
and run cvsup again. (Don't use the -s option for this "cleaning up".)
For your next kernel build, it may be necessary to run config with the
option "-r".
(Such a "downgrade" is a bit experimental. It may happen that
some files from -current are left in the source tree, because they
don't exist in 3.x, and cvsup doesn't know that they are now there.
This might cause a "make world" to fail. In that case, you'd have
to remove these files manually. I guess you could search them with
find -mtime.)
If you want to run -current, subscribe to the mailing list freebsd-
current and read it for a few days to see whether it's "safe" to rebuild
the system. Read /usr/src/UPDATING. The kernel config file syntax had
some changes; have a look at GENERIC and LINT. Before you do the first
"make world" with the sources from 4.x, you'll have to compile a 4.x-
kernel and reboot with it.
(In case you want to cvsup the ports-tree and doc-tree, too: those only
have one branch, "current", so to speak. E.g. if you want the sources
for 3.x and the updates for /usr/ports, you'd use:
*default tag=RELENG_3
src-all
*default tag=.
ports-all
)
Bye, Philipp

1. /usr/src/sys/i386/conf: No such file or directory
As the title says, how can I copy the GENERIC configuration file?
Thanks.
3. Syntax in /sys/i386/conf/KERNEL
4. Difference between su before startx or su in X
5. CVSUP QUESTION - where are the /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ files in 4.6-RELEASE?
6. Extensive ethernet collisions with FreeBSD 2.2.2(R)
7. 4th USENIX Conf on Object-Oriented Tech and Sys (COOTS) - Conf Program
8. Setting up RAID1 on RH7.2 post install... how?
9. moving directories from file sys to file sys
10. deleted isapnp.conf and conf.modules
11. I am root and can not delete a file?
12. Downloading RH7...So many types: 7.0-i386...7.0-i386-respin...7
13. What am I getting with cvsup tag=RELENG_3?
