I'm taking the next learning step with FreeBSD by tracking -STABLE. Since I've always ran -RELEASE I have been doing my reading trying to find the easiest and most orthodox way to upgrade to -STABLE.
Some people, including the author of the book I'm reading, like to add
&
to the supfile. What are the advantages & disadvantages of doing so? Does that only make csup update the ports tree & docs concurrently with the base system?
Also, if I add the two lines to my supfile will I need to use csup for all future ports upgrades or can I use portsnap instead? It seems that most people don't like to mix them and stick with either csup or portsnap.
