Port migration 12.0 to 12.1-RELEASE with subversion for releng/12.1 !

[teo]

Hello!


After updating the system migrating from 12.0 to 12.1-RELEASE for 64 bits. How do you update the ports with devel/subversion (SVN) for last mirror of security of releng/12.1?

sudo svnlite checkout https://svn.freebsd.org/ports/tags/RELEASE_12_1_0 /usr/ports
Today this will get you Revision 517827 of the 12.1 ports tree
I am showing an svnlite example as devel/subversion is a huge port as svnlite is lightweight and built into base FreeBSD.

On a side note I really like the devel/git-lite port.
The devel/git port is so big and for simple usage git-lite is awesome.

From the beginning I installed the system I did it with the subversion package for port extraction and their respective updates with SVN for:

2.1 Upgrading from Source

The procedure for doing a source code based update is described in Updating FreeBSD from Source.
For SVN use the releng/12.1 branch which will be where any upcoming Security Advisories or Errata Notices will be applied

svnlite is another package.

No it is not. It is part of base.

svn checkout https://svn.freebsd.org/ports/head /usr/ports

Do notice that this does not exist:

https://svn.freebsd.org/ports/branch/RELENG_12_1_0

To get the latest you must use /ports/head
Feel free to browse the svn repository for ports.

You could also save you some downloading by simply updating ports tree
cd /usr/ports
svn update

But if it exists:

5.3.3 Anonymous Checkout
It is possible to anonymously check out the FreeBSD repository with Subversion. This will give access to a read-only tree that can be updated, but not committed back to the main repository.
To do this, use:

svn co https://svn.FreeBSD.org/base/head /usr/src
cd /usr/src
svn update /usr/src

Or:

svn checkout https://svn.FreeBSD.org/ports/head /usr/ports

cd /usr/ports
svn update /usr/ports

As:

svn co svn://svn.FreeBSD.org/base/releng/12.1/ /usr/src

cd /usr/src
svn update /usr/src

How do you update the ports with devel/subversion (SVN) for last mirror of security of releng/12.1?

There is only one ports tree. It used by all versions on all architectures.
