7.2 RELEASE to 7.x stable

Hi everyone

I have installed 7.2 release from DVD
as a guest on VirtualBox, Vista is the host.
I have ran CVSUP to grab the 7-stable branch
but I keep getting 7.2-stable.

Then I cant get the ports to install anything
using sysinstall, says server cant find any 7.2 stable ports.

I am missing something ?

Here is my cvsup file
Code: 
*default host=cvsup4.us.Freebsd.org
*default base=/var/db
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_7
*default delete use-rel-suffix
src-all tag=RELENG_7
ports-all tag=.
docs-all tag=.

As there is no 7.3 Release yet, the RELENG_7 tag refers to 7.2-STABLE, which is what you get.

According to your supfile, you should have an up to date ports tree, if you ran that through cvsup.
Why use sysinstall? Go to /usr/ports, and install what you like from there.
Or did you actually mean to use packages rather than ports?

No matter what I do, I get the error message
that the freebsd server cant find 7.2-stable.
I guess I will have to back-date my CVSUP file
to grab the 7-stable code
Didn't know 7.3 is on its way.
I do this everytime. darn pre release code
gets me everytime.
Thanks
 
As Mickey said, using the RELENG_7 tag will get you 7-STABLE (which is now 7.2-STABLE). If you rebuilt your operating system, you should see that in [cmd=]uname -a[/cmd]. Your CVSup must have pulled in the ports tree (which is independent of the OS version for the most part), so you must have a full ports tree in /usr/ports. Check The Handbook on how to install 3rd party software.
