This directory contains sample "supfiles" for obtaining and updating
the FreeBSD sources via the Internet.  These supfiles will work
with CVSup version 14.0 or later.  For general information on CVSup
itself, please see http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/cvsup.html

To track the Errata/Security fixes for this version of the FreeBSD-stable
release, use:

    standard-supfile		Main source tree

    ports-supfile		Ports collection

To track the sources for the Development Branch of this FreeBSD-stable
release (not recommended unless you read the freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG
mailing list), use:

    stable-supfile		Main source tree

To maintain a copy of the CVS repository containing all versions of
FreeBSD, use:

    cvs-supfile			Main source tree and ports collection

To maintain a copy of the FreeBSD bug database, use the file:

    gnats-supfile               FreeBSD bug database

IMPORTANT: Before you use any of the supfiles in this directory,
you will need to edit in an appropriate "host" setting.  See:

    http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/mirrors.html

for an up-to-date list of public CVSup mirror sites.
