<sect><heading>SUP<label id="sup"></heading>
<p><em>Contributed by &a.jkh; and &a.gclarkii;.</em>
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/sup.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 tells sup what collections it will be updating
and/or installing and where they go. The supfile in this directory will
sup both the source and ports collection - look for the blank line separating
the two collections; if you don't want ports, you can simply delete all the
ports entries. If you're inside the United States, you may also uncomment
the `secure' collection line to grab the DES code. If you're outside the
U.S., you should NOT sup this code from FreeBSD.ORG as this will
violate U.S. export restrictions. Simply sup everything <em>but</em> the secure
collection and then go look on braae.ru.ac.za, where it's available for
anonymous ftp for those outside the U.S.
Any other 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.
