So, I have carefully followed directions to obtain the repository. My cvsupfile contains: *default release=cvs *default host=cvsup7.freebsd.org *default base=/usr1/local/etc/cvsup *default prefix=/usr1 *default delete compress *default release=cvs use-rel-suffix Downloading and building the repository went fine. The next step is to create the source tree. I set the environmental variable CVSROOT to '/usr1'. Then 'cd $CVSROOT/src' and 'cvs log Makefile'. Unfortunately, this produces errors: cvs log: cannot open CVS/Entries for reading: No such file or directory cvs log: nothing known about Makefile So, what am I missing? BTW: The online version of the Chapter 19 of the FreeBSD Handbook is much better written than the hardcopy version in describing cvsupfile and procedures. Thanks in advance.
