So checking it out by module name doesn't work. You can ``cvs co modules'' and add it easily. > This is my first "import", and these are my first ports :( I didn't > really do very well it seems from your subsequent updates. > Disclaimer: I asked asami to give them a once-over, but he didn't > have time. No big deal. I don't know of anyone that doesn't have their ports style changed from time to time. Sometimes I guess it takes the port to be committed and then we all look at it since we have to. ;-) It is nice to get neat things in the ports tree and then iterate of the ports to make them more perfect over time. :-) > I havn't updated net/Makefile yet - I thought I'd cringe for a while > before breaking the world. Go ahead and update it. arpwatch built fine for me. > BTW, what's ``easy-import'' ? It is a nice perl script that Joerg wrote. It is in /usr/share/examples/cvs/contrib on all machines, and /usr/local/bin on freefall. It keeps you from commiting in the wrong place (ie. keeps you to src, ports, www, etc). And w/in ports keeps you w/in the existing categories. It will check to see if the thing you are importing is already their, check out the modules database and update. Then it does the import on the vendor branch. You would use it for adding ports, and contrib software. Enjoy! -- -- David (obrien@NUXI.com -or- obrien@FreeBSD.org)
