I am trying to get sup to work so that I can get recent sources for netbsd.
I got the sup kit and made it and installed it.  I tried to run sup with
the sample file and with a file that I made up.  It ran for a while and
then gave me the following output:
bubba# /usr/local/sbin/sup -f supksource
SUP 8.26 (4.3 BSD) for file supksource at May 17 22:02:29

bubba#

Does anyone know what this means?  I have never tried to use sup before so
I don't really know what I am doing.
Here is the contents of the file supksource:
(the line breaks after the hostbase are not there in the real file)

current release=ksrc-common host=sup.NetBSD.org hostbase=/a/anon_ftp
        base=/usr prefix=/usr old use-rel-suffix
current release=ksrc-mac68k host=sup.NetBSD.org hostbase=/a/anon_ftp
        base=/usr prefix=/usr old use-rel-suffix
current release=security host=sup.NetBSD.org hostbase=/a/anon_ftp
        base=/usr prefix=/usr old use-rel-suffix

Any help would be appreciated...
Thanks,

                        -Jeremy
