This person contacted me via private email. I have take the
appropriate actions to clear the situation.
Actions:
1) Make sure the cron job had not yet updated /usr/ports with
the files from ~ncvs/ports/mit-scheme
ls /usr/ports/mit-scheme
2) Direct repository copy of ~ncvs/ports/mit-scheme to
~ncvs/ports/lang/mit-scheme.
cd ~ncvs/ports;
find mit-scheme | cpio -pdamu --block-size=16 lang
3) Again check to make sure cron had not picked this up yet
for /usr/ports on freefall.
ls /usr/ports/mit-scheme
4) Clear the bad copy from ~ncvs.
rm -r ~ncvs/ports/mit-scheme
Since I was able to fix this within 1hr 30 mintues of it happening
I did a rm of it instead of placing it in the Attic. This may have
caught someone who had sup'ed the ncvs bits during the window that
this port was in the wrong place. Since neither the update of
/usr/src or the ctm stuff had run I felt it reasonable safe to do
the rm at this time, normally this is not a safe thing to do.
Poul, can you clearly point me at a way to check on what ctm is
doing (I assumed here that it runs right after the update of /usr/src,
/usr/ports, and is ports avaliable via ctm?)
