SUP is a network based software update tool developed at CMU. The
|
|
purpose of this document is get the beginner up and running with sup.
|
|
|
|
First off you will need to pick up the sup binaries. The easiest
|
|
way of doing this is to grab the sup.tgz package from:
|
|
|
|
ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.ORG:/pub/FreeBSD/packages/sup.tgz
|
|
|
|
Install the sup package using pkg_add and add the following line to
|
|
your /etc/services file:
|
|
|
|
sup 871/tcp #sup
|
|
|
|
SUP gets the information it needs to run from a configuration file
|
|
called a supfile. This file tells sup what collections it will be updating
|
|
and/or installing and where they go. The supfile in this directory will
|
|
sup both the source and ports collection - look for the blank line seperating
|
|
the two collections; if you don't want ports, you can simply delete all the
|
|
ports entries. If you're inside the United States, you may also uncomment
|
|
the `secure' collection line to grab the DES code. If you're outside the
|
|
U.S., you should NOT sup this code from FreeBSD.ORG as this will
|
|
violate U.S. export restrictions. Simply sup everything *but* the secure
|
|
collection and then go look on "braae.ru.ac.za", where it's available for
|
|
anonymous ftp for those outside the U.S.
|
|
|
|
Any other distributions you do not wish to receive can be commented out
|
|
with a # at the begining of the distribution line.
|
|
|
|
Once this is setup, you're ready to go. To start sup type:
|
|
|
|
sup supfile
|
|
|
|
If you wish to see what sup is doing "verbosely", give it the -v option,
|
|
like so:
|
|
|
|
sup -v supfile
|
|
|
|
Thats all there is to it! Remember that if you're running current,
|
|
which is what you will have if you sup, please join the freebsd-current
|
|
mailing list. You should also be sure to read:
|
|
|
|
ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.ORG:/pub/FreeBSD/FAQ/current-policy.FAQ
|
|
|
|
For important information on just what we can and cannot do for you as
|
|
a -current user.
