Hi,
I currently working to get an old patch up to HEAD, but I have a problem
with generating a diff from my work.
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
