Hi Stephen > The FreeBSD project has now moved ports from cvs to svn. But, ports is > in a separate repository from src. /pub/FreeBSD/development/FreeBSD-CVS/ includes: 263582 doc 60218 projects 177052 www Do you happen to know where they'll go ?

It would be nice to have ctm-svn-ports please, to extract ports/ that match src/ release tags etc see meta info from commits (who, why, when etc). > 2.

OK, A win :-) > Will this > upset people? No problem here, (except I've been in habit of looking in /usr/cvs for forecasting release imminence eg with RELENG_x_y_z_RELEASE The tag (not branch) of the x.y.z release. RELENG_x_y_BP Branch point to the x.y release branch. Maybe ther's a simlar trick for svn later. I also posted this: ] To: Thomas Abthorpe <portmgr-secretary@freebsd.org> ] cc: ports@freebsd.org ] ] There is no match for "svn" & "subversion" in ] http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ ] ] There are matches for cvs, I suggest add a link to ] http://wiki.freebsd.org/PortsSubversionPrimer ] &/or to some page that shows [man svn] sample equivalents for such as: ] cvs -R export -r HEAD doc ] cvs -Q -R export -r RELENG_8_3_0_RELEASE src ] cvs -Q -R export -r RELEASE_8_3_0 ports ] cvs -Q -R export -r RELEASE_8_3_0 doc ] cvs -R export -r RELENG_4_11_0_RELEASE src ] cvs -R export -r RELEASE_4_11_0 ports ] cvs -R export -r RELEASE_4_11_0 doc ] ] Not all users of CVS & SVN will be commiters, some will just extract to read, ] so best have an extra SVN link not obscured just under commiters ] ] http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvs-tags.html ] just refers to CVS not SVN > I am not in a hurry to do this - I don't plan to remove any mailing > lists for a while. Great, stability is good :-) Quite a lot of people will likely be rushing to get ready to go on North hemisphere mid-summer August shool/ factory etc related holidays soon.
