Third possibility: Something IS wrong. I do not have this problem, but please point to me (yes, again...) the flaw in my procedure: My cvsup file: *default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup *default prefix=/Archives/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-CVS *default release=cvs *default host=sup.FreeBSD.org *default hostbase=/home *default delete *default old *default use-rel-suffix *default compress ## Main Source Tree src-all src-eBones src-secure ports-all doc-all src-sys release=smp prefix=/home/smp My cvsup command line: cd /usr/local/etc/cvsup rm -rf sup cvsup -L2 -z Sendero.cvsup Then I do : rm -rf /usr/src/2.2/src rm -rf /usr/obj/usr cd /usr/src/2.2 cvs checkout -rRELENG_2_2 src cd .. ln -s /usr/src/2.2/src/* . cd /usr/src/2.2/src make world > ../world.out 2>&1 It must be a flawed procedure because it works only 60% of the time. Different days produce different errors (no joke). Monday, it was an html file with the wrong format. Turns out to be a 3.0 file that somehow ended up in the 2.2 tree. Today, the make depend part of make world blows up because the tty command does not get built/installed in /usr/obj/usr/src.2.2/src/tmp/usr/bin. Yes, I started the build, and then snuck it in. It is still running but seems much better. BTW, on normal days, I do not destroy the whole world. I just run cvsup a couple of times to make sure I am current, do cvs update -P -d and make world. The difference in reliability and predictability of the process is not very visible to me. Please help me learn how to do it correctly. Simonhome | help
