I'm Gideon Israel Dsouza. Check out my CV on Careers. (gidisrael-at-gmail-com)

I've been teaching myself programming since I was about 11.

I have the odd need to know how everything works and play with C#, Ruby, Perl, Haskell and Arduino. Check out my CPAN modules and my side project : http://www.tryperl.com

I will usually edit your question or answer if it's a huge block of unstructured text :)

Ok, also (I'm somewhat familiar with svn) so /base/head/ in the svn url will point to the latest?

comment the right way to synchronise sources on freebsd
+1 thanks for your answer. Is there any other way? My jails don't seem to work write, I can't run the ezjail-admin update -ip, which complains that I should build world.

I posted the buildworld problem here. unix.stackexchange.com/questions/65862/… Maybe that is what is causing this problem?

comment enable networking inside a freebsd jail
Hey thanks for your reply. updated my Question, I use freebsd9.1. I can't seem to access the network from my jail. I did have a problem doing cd /usr/src; make buildworld. I found this article on updating /usr/src but it seems the whole cvs this it outdated.

comment vim install on freebsd has taken 5 hours and counting
Hm Alright I shall take a look at it. I basically just want a jail with perl in it up and running. Quick final question, If I do portmaster -y some_dir;portmaster -y some_other_dir;portmaster -y third_dir. I should be able to start a couple of installs like this and leave it overnight or something?

Thanks for your answer. (1) Can I use portmaster to just get the binary, intead of building it all. (2) Of all things, my laptop power was disconnected while I was away during the vim installation and now when I tried vim-lite it says it conflicts with vim, so I'm giving vim a shot again.
