Update ports colletion using cvsup

UPDATE :

 

For those reasons by February 28th 2013 the FreeBSD ports tree will
no longer be exported to CVS. Therefore ports tree updates via CVS
or CVSup will no longer available after that date. All users who use
CVS or CVSup to update the ports tree are encouraged to switch to
portsnap(8) [1] or for users which need more control over their ports
collection checkout use Subversion directly:

% svn co https://svn0.us-west.FreeBSD.org/ports/head /usr/ports

and update a checked out repository using:

% cd /usr/ports && svn update

Salah satu keunggulan freebsd adalah fasilitas ports, dimana user akan dimudahkan dalam install paket-paket software yang dibutuhkan.

Untuk menjamin ke update-an suatu paket software pada freeBSD perlu dilakukan update ports colletion, salah satu carnya dengan menggunakan cvsup-without-gui :

    • install cvsup-without-gui

lewat port saja 🙂

# cd /usr/ports/net/cvsup-without-gui
# make install clean

    • copy dan edit contoh file port-supfile


# cp /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile .
# vi ports-supfile

ubah default host=CHANGE_THIS.FreeBSD.org menjadi default host=cvsup.1.FreeBSD.org
atau dengan mirror cvsup yg lain jika miroor indonesia tidak bisa diakses atau sibuk
daftar mirror dapat dilihat disini

    • restart dan mulai update port


#shutdown -r now
.............
#cd /usr/share/examples/cvsup/
#cvsup -g -L 2 ports-supfile

Shutting down connection to server

Selesai Ports telah terupdate.
