No, there are two seperate issues involved here: 1) The WWW server has two cgi directories. /usr/local/www/cgi-bin (source unknown, I assume hand-feeded) /usr/local/www/data/cgi (from CVS tree) 2) The outchecked CVS tree on ftp.freebsd.org is up-to-date only in the src/ directory, www/data isn't updated. These issues are completly seperate. The second issue must be resolved by fixing the cron entry that updates src/ to update www/ as well (that's what I assume, anyway). The first issue is a matter of reorganizing. I think the first thing to do is to remove duplicate entries, a cgi script in the CVS-feeded directory should not longer live as a hand-updated script elsewhere. First thing is to look for references to outdated scripts (Yes, that's my job :-). If you send CGI scripts to outside people, please make sure you send the right one. Th pr-related scripts are an example, some are in the CVS-feeded directory and have an outdated brother in the other dir, other pr-related scripts are not part of the CVS tree at all. Martin P.S. We had quite some requests for CGI scripts from outside people. We should make sure there's a central place on ftp.freebsd.org to get them from. IMHO, the best way to do so is to add all general-purpose scripts to the CVS tree and make sure the -current tree on ftp.f.o is updated right. What's the police to add things to the CVS tree? I feel a bit uncomfortable to add masses of CGIs to the CVS repository that gets distributed to all people who really want the FreeBSD source tree. Maybe keeping www/ and src/ in the same CVS tree is not the right thing to do in the long term? -- %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Martin Cracauer <cracauer@wavehh.hanse.de> http://cracauer.cons.org Fax +49 40 522 85 36
