Updating the ports tree in FreeBSD 8 [26/Sep/2010]   Loading soundcard drivers in FreeBSD     Installing Flash Plugin 10 for Firefox in FreeBSD 8  

WARNING: This post has been marked as obsolete and may be incorrect. It is kept for archival purposes only. After you have installed your system, you will no doubt want to update your ports tree regularly.

To do this, edit/create a file called /root/bsdports which contains the following:

*default tag=.
*default host=cvsup2.us.freebsd.org
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs delete use-rel-suffix compress

ports-all Copy


You should change the host "cvsup2.us.freebsd.org" to be one of your local mirrors.  You can see a list of mirrors at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html#CVSUP-MIRRORS

Now to update your ports tree, type:

csup /root/bsdports Copy

This takes quite a while, and will report any files it is updating as it goes.  Once it completes, your ports tree will be up to date.
