I usually checkout out src from a local cvs mirror of the FreeBSD repository. I do this with cvs -Rd/home/ncvs checkout src Without the -R flag I must do the checkout as root to create a read lock. The changes are easly diff'ed with cvs -Rd/home/ncvs checkout -uN > ../path/to/release.{patch|diff} I added new files in existing directories with 'cvs add' so that these files are included in the generated patch. The problem I am faced with is that there are new directories with new files (a lot) and these files are not included in the patch. I tried to 'cvs add' the directories, but I am not allowed the create the directories in /home/ncvs. Sure I just could fire up sudo to do the work, but I am afraid that cvsup, which I use to mirror the cvs repository, could delete them with the next scheduled run. Has anyone a hint on how to handle this situation? best regards, Gordon -- Gordon Bergling http://www.0xFCE3.net/ PGP Fingerprint: 7732 9BB1 5013 AE8B E42C 28E0 93B9 D32B C76F 02A0 RIPE-HDL: MDTP-RIPE "There is no place like 127.0.0.0/8"
