New Zealand Mirror Servers

cvsup.nz.freebsd.org is a fast cvsup mirror connected to the WIX where you can get ports and src updates. The mirror does a full repo update from the FreeBSD master every hour.

For more information on cvsup see the [http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html Handbook] section, there is also a [http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cutting-edge.html chapter] on how to fetch and build the sources.

To update your ports collection

# cvsup -h cvsup.nz.freebsd.org /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile
# cd /usr/ports
# make fetchindex

Then use your favourite method of updating your software (such as portupgrade).

To update your operating system

You need to decide what cvs tag to update to and set it in the supfile

# cvsup -h cvsup.nz.freebsd.org supfile
# cd /usr/src
# make buildworld buildkernel
