wGreetings, I've been a newbie on FreeBSD 5.2.1 now for about a month. I Have had much success lately but I wanted to try the cvsup and update the sources (/usr/src) so I can stay current on patches and security updates. I've managed to create a cvsupfile but all the docs I've read do not instruct you how to update the old files with the new files. Does this happen automatically or do I need to create a script to do it ? I setup my cvsupfile to grab src-all and it downloaded but now I have filenames with a ,v for almost every file. Like Makefile and now there is a Makefile,v in /usr/src and make buildworld will not compile anymore. It get errors when trying to build tools. Below is a snip of my cvsupfile, did I do something wrong? or forget a step? I've followed the docs and howto's relating to this to a T as far as I can tell. Thanks in advance!
