For example, I have two cvsup configuration files. One for the sources, one for the ports. In my source CVSup file, I have: *default tag=RELENG_3 While in my CVSup.ports file I have: *default tag=. If you try to cvsup the ports tree with teh RELENG_3 tag in there it will successfully wipe out all files in your /usr/ports tree. The information on this I *believe* is on the cvsup pages on www.freesbsd.org If I'm way off base, then feel free to ignore :) Thanks, John >> So, if I understand this... you don't have >> /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/kde11 ? >> /usr/ports/lang/tclxx ? where xx is a version number. > Nope :)The mentioned are here but I thought the structure > should be so as presented in http://www.fbsd.org/masterindex.html > Were kde tcl and some other have their own directory > Regards > Ariel Burbaickij >> Are there any refuse files being used by cvsup? >> What does your sup file look like? >> >> -Chris >> P.S.
