    You need to install the cvsup package before you can go through it. First

    pkg_add -r cvsup-without-gui (if you are just on a dumb terminal as I am on)
    or pkg_add cvsup

    After it completes, then copy the supfiles from
    /usr/share/example/supfile to you home (I mean the root's home) or
    anywhere you feel convinient to access. Open the stable supfile ( if
    you want to track stable) in your favourite text editor ( mine is vi,
    so I do vi stable-supfile). Read through the file, its well
    documented. Change the hostname for the cvsup server (refer to the
    handbook for cvsup locations, I generally use cvsup2.freebsd.org or
    cvsup6.freebsd.org). Save the file and exit (in my case its :wq). Then
    run the cvsup with the stable-supfile as argument. I do is:

    cvsup -g -L 2 stable-supfile

    If you want to schedule it as a cron job as I do then

    cvsup -g -L 1 stable-supfile

    Let it complete. Now you have an updated source tree. Refer to the
    make world section of the handbook and remake the whole tree (as I
    always do on a freshly installed system) or just the kernel (your
    choice). You should be on track. Refer to the handbook and man cvsup
    for further details. And btw its not cvup its cvsup :-). Ket us know
    if you again got stuck up.

    Regards
    S.
