X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Thu, 04 Oct 2012 13:27:16 -0000 OK, I have over the past few years updated and tracked various source using cvsup, and with freebsd progressing to where it now uses subversion it seemed time to move over. I seem to be running into a problem doing this, and I wanted to see if anyone had a cloo they could offer on how to resolve this, so that hopefully I can get my collections of FBSD boxes back where they need to be on updates. First off, let me say I have tried to different ways of grabbing the sources (after the announcement of ports dropping cvsup and moving to svn), which do both seem to work. I have used the following: svn co svn://svn.FreeBSD.org/ports/head /usr/ports I have also tried: svn co https://svn0.us-east.FreeBSD.org/ports/head /usr/ports Both seem to retrieve the sources very happily, so I don't seem to have a problem in that aspect, where I run into issues is when I go to grab updates. As an example let's say I wait a couple hours, and then cd down to my /usr/ports directory, and run 'svn update', it will happy come back and tell me it's updating ., and then spit out something like this (yes the issues reported will vary): # svn up Updating '.': Skipped 'www' -- Node remains in conflict Skipped 'x11-wm' -- Node remains in conflict Skipped 'net' -- Node remains in conflict Skipped 'x11' -- Node remains in conflict At revision 305233. Summary of conflicts: Skipped paths: 4 # So then I waited about another hour, and I ran 'svn update' again, and now I get: # svn up Updating '.': Skipped 'net' -- Node remains in conflict Skipped 'x11' -- Node remains in conflict Skipped 'www' -- Node remains in conflict Skipped 'x11-wm' -- Node remains in conflict Skipped 'dns' -- Node remains in conflict Skipped 'devel' -- Node remains in conflict Skipped 'sysutils' -- Node remains in conflict Skipped 'lang' -- Node remains in conflict Skipped 'polish' -- Node remains in conflict Skipped 'security' -- Node remains in conflict Skipped 'editors' -- Node remains in conflict Skipped 'net-p2p' -- Node remains in conflict Skipped 'games' -- Node remains in conflict Skipped 'Mk' -- Node remains in conflict Skipped 'java' -- Node remains in conflict Skipped 'palm' -- Node remains in conflict Skipped 'multimedia' -- Node remains in conflict At revision 305253. Summary of conflicts: Skipped paths: 17 # As you can see, the longer I wait, the more entries I get, till eventually every time I run update, it will pretty much bitch about every directory in the tree. Sure I can run the resolve command and try and clear some of it, but that has to be done by hand and one at a time, and with a batch of machines I could see that taking hours to resolve. I have never had a source tree where this just seems to happen constantly, I have completely removed my /usr/ports, /usr/src, and /usr/doc and done fresh checkouts many times over, yet still the issue returns. I am all for using subversion to handle updates to the various sources, and was trying to see if we could even offer to mirror for the FreeBSD project, but at the moment I can't even seem to get a stable source tree in hand unless I completely delete all sources and check out free every time, which is a huge waste of time and bandwidth for sure. Can anyone offer any suggestions or ideas on how to resolve this issue?? --- Howard Leadmon
