Replace the line: *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4 with: *default release=cvs tag=. That is how is appears in /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile The following is from the example file for stable in /usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile ######################################################## # # DANGER! WARNING! LOOK OUT! VORSICHT! # # If you add any of the ports collections to this file, be sure to # specify them like this: # # ports-all tag=. # # If you leave out the "tag=." portion, CVSup will delete all of # the files in your ports tree. That is because the ports collections # do not use the same tags as the main part of the FreeBSD source tree. # ######################################################### Tom Parquette Sent by: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG 01/25/2001 08:26 PM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org cc: Subject: CVS deleting ports? Please CC me on any replies. TIA. I'm trying to keep everying on my 4.2-STABLE system failry up to date. I have something going on with the ports that I do not understand. I've RTFM but I'm fuzzy on CVS and I'm more or less just following the instructions. (Sorry Greg, your CVS section didn't help me either.) When I manually add the files to the ports directory (all that seems to exist is an HTML file) I can build the port. The latest one is etherboot that I'm playing with. The problem that I do not understand is, when I do the next CVS run, it seems to delete everything I just added to the /usr/ports.... directory. I've transcribed my supfile below. My undetstanding was cvs-all would bring down "everything" (including the ports.) Any helo would be appreciated since I would not even call my self a CVS novice. Cheers... # usr/src/hercules-supfile *default host=cvsup3.freebsd.org *default base=/usr *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4 *default delete use-rel-suffix *default compress cvs-all -- Try not. Do or do not.
