3.2 Configuration

cvsup is guided by a configuration file that describes what files to update, and the source from which to update them.

Here is a basic DragonFly cvsup configuration file:

*default host=cvsup.dragonflybsd.org
*default base=/usr
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs
*default release=cvs tag=.
*default delete use-rel-suffix
*default compress

cvs-root
cvs-src
cvs-dfports

Place the above text in a file. Run cvsup using that file as an argument: cvsup /path/to/config. Your system source files will be updated, and your dfports overrides will also be up-to-date.
