DESCRIPTION

    Sup is a program used for upgrading collections of files from
    other machines to your machine.  You execute sup, the client
    program, which talks over the network using IP/TCP to a file
    server process.  The file server process cooperates with sup
    to determine which files of the collection need to be upgraded
    on your machine.

AMIGA PORT

    I am a NetBSD user since version 1.0 and I've recently switched
    to the NetBSD-current system. Soon, I found out that tracking
    the source changes manually with ftp was a pain.

    The official way to track the -current source tree is using
    the 'sup' system command to have it updated automatically from
    a sup server. Unfortunately, sup was only available for the
    NetBSD side of my Amiga, while I usually connect to the Internet
    from the AmigaOS side.

    The solution was porting sup to the Amiga. With the GeekGadgets
    developer tools, this was a very easy task.

    I got the source code for sup from the NetBSD-current source
    tree and made some minor changes in the Makefile and other
    files to compile it in a GeekGadget's environment.

AMIGA NOTES

    Sup requires ixemul.library and ixnet.library, along with any
    TCP/IP stack supported by the ixnet.library (tested with AmiTCP).

    The supfilesrv and supscan commands are untested.

AMIGA USAGE

    Read the "tracking-current" instructions on the www.netbsd.org,
    and the README.sup file which you can find in the NetBSD-current
    source directory on ftp.netbsd.org or one of its mirrors. Both
    files have been included in this distribution (see in bsd_docs/)
    for your convenience.

    I use the BerkeleyFastFileSystem (BFFS) to access my local copy
    of the NetBSD kernel sources in /usr/src. I mounted my /usr
    partition, created a supfile in /usr as described in README.sup
    and then sup did all the rest for me.
