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.
|
|
|
|
<sect1><heading>Getting setup</heading>
|
|
|
|
<p>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:
|
|
<verb>
|
|
ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.ORG:/pub/FreeBSD/packages/All/sup-2.0.tgz
|
|
</verb>
|
|
Install the sup package using pkg_add and add the following line to
|
|
your /etc/services file (if it doesn't already exist):
|
|
<verb>
|
|
supfilesrv 871/tcp # for SUP
|
|
</verb>
|
|
|
|
SUP gets the information it needs to run from a configuration file
|
|
called a supfile. This file should be found in
|
|
<tt>/usr/share/examples/sup/standard-supfile</tt> for the standard
|
|
distributions.
|
|
This file tells sup what collections it will be updating
|
|
and/or installing and where they go. This supfile will sup the current source
|
|
collection. For ports please have a look at
|
|
<tt>/usr/share/examples/sup/ports-supfile</tt>.
|
|
If you're inside the United States, you may also uncomment
|
|
the `secure' and `eBones' collection lines to grab the DES code.
|
|
If you're outside the
|
|
U.S., you should NOT sup this code from sup.FreeBSD.ORG as this will
|
|
violate U.S. export restrictions. Instead you should use the
|
|
<tt>secure-supfile</tt> found within the above directory. This will
|
|
connect you to the international sup site that contains a secure distribution.
|
|
Any distributions you do not wish to receive can be commented out
|
|
with a # at the beginning of the distribution line.
|
|
|
|
Once this is setup, you're ready to go. To start sup type:
|
|
<verb>
|
|
sup supfile
|
|
</verb>
|
|
If you wish to see what sup is doing "verbosely", give it the -v option,
|
|
like so:
|
|
<verb>
|
|
sup -v supfile
|
|
</verb>
|
|
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 <ref id="current"
|
|
name="Staying current with FreeBSD">
|
|
for important information on just what we can and cannot do for you as
|
|
a -current user.
