Updating the ports tree for a new version of OpenBSD
After upgrading the system to a new version of OpenBSD, do most people delete the old ports tree and checkout a new one?
Supposing I have the 6.2 tree currently. Can I just update the current tree with a new tag like: Code:
cvs -q up -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_3 What is the most bandwidth friendly way to handle this? |

Does this answer your question ?

""If you are following the 6.2 -stable branch:"" Or what ever branch you are following.IE: "If your following current" For a lot of details on OpenBsd Ports https://www.openbsd.org/faq/ports/guide.html The best place to start though , is here: https://www.openbsd.org/faq/ports/ports.html Quote:

Thank you for responding, your answer inspired me to do a little more poking around and now I think I understand.
I can just update the ports tree using the branch tag I am moving to. In case others stumble on this post, this link explains it a little more clearly, under the "Accessing Branches" header: http://cvsgui.sourceforge.net/howto/cvsdoc/cvs_5.html Quote:
