- As root:
cp /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile ~
Edit the ports-supfile
- local mirror, such as freebsd.isc.org
- Comment ports-all, uncomment desired ports
Update:
cvsup -g -L 2 /root/ports-supfile
Automating port upgrades
This is probably a good idea. Last thing you want is some horrendous sshd vuln when you're out of the country or something... We'll cron a cvsup to keep the ports db recent, and use a tool called portupgrade to upgrade our installed ports.
Install portupgrade
cd /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade make install clean
Create a package database for portupgrade
pkgdb -u
Run portupgrade
portupgrade -a
Create a script to do it all for us
#!/bin/sh cvsup -g -L 2 /root/ports-supfile pkgdb -u portupgrade -a
Add it to cron
echo "20 4 * * 7 /root/upgrade.sh" > mycron crontab mycron
Set up a forward for root
echo "foo@you.com" > .forward
