If you are running -stable, that doesn't help. The file ports.tar.gz doesn't get updated for -stable after release. > or: > # cd /usr/ports > # cvs -d [email protected]:/cvs -q up -rOPENBSD_`uname > -r | sed 's/\./_/'` -Pd Yes, you start from ports.tar.gz, and then, you update that tree with cvs(1) as needed. I don't like your uname(1) hackery, though. It's unsafe, giving you a false sense of security. For example, i'm running -current, but your uname(1) says, on my -current machine: $ uname -r | sed 's/\./_/' 5_6 $ uname -a OpenBSD isnote.usta.de 5.6 GENERIC.MP#5 i386 To update my ports tree, i have to do: $ cd /usr/ports && cvs -d ... up -dP without any -r argument, but your uname(1) would give me a bogus -r argument, so in some situations, it does the wrong thing. I'd recommend that you just supply the correct -r by hand if needed. KISS! Yours, Ingo
