Hi, - Trying to cvsup ports-base (as a start). I have no ports directory, as of yet, so this should be a fresh cvs checkout. My supfile looks like this: --------------------- # ports supfile *default host=cvsup5.freebsd.org *default base=/usr *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4_9 *default delete use-rel-suffix ports-base ---------------------- So, I execute cvsup with a '-g -L2' and it goes through the motions and seems to think it checked out the collection. I look under /usr/sup and there's directory 'ports-base', and there's a checkout file in there with a list of stuff it thinks it checked out. But, there's no ports directory when it's done, or anything else. I've tried different servers (14 and 15). I tried to "help it along" by creating a ports directory, but that didn't matter. I've scoured the disk after it's done (`find / -d ports`) and nothing shows. I've tried several iterations, removing the /usr/sup/ports-base directory each time (so it presumably starts from scratch.) Same non-result. Note that cvsup seems to work fine with src-all/docs-all. I also tried ports-all - no go. Any idea what's up? Any info appreciated, rickb ===== A mind is not a vessel to be filled, it is a fire to be ignited. -- Plutarch
