Date: Wed, 3 May 2000 15:10:48 -0700 Message-ID: <009301bfb54c$6ff396c0$0100a8c0@landg01> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 (Normal) X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook 8.5, Build 4.71.2173.0 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V4.72.3155.0 Importance: Normal Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG 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.
