How to use subversion to keep source, system and doc files up to date?

[David J. Weller-Fahy]

While I track CURRENT, not STABLE, the process should not be
significantly different.  Here is what I do.

Here I update the src tree.

# svn update /usr/src/

> # cd /usr/src
> # make buildworld
> # make buildkernel
> # make installkernel
> # shutdown -r now

Here, instead of "# mount -a -t ufs" I use "# zfs mount -a".

For ports, I do the following.

# svn update /usr/ports/
# cd /usr/ports
# make fetchindex
# pkg_version -l '<'

Then update any ports which need updating.  There is, AFAICT, minimal
difference between what I used to do with csup, and what I do now with
svn.  Of course, the first time I used subversion was doing this... so I
may be doing it wrong. ;)
