Hi, Reference: > From: "Christoph P. Kukulies" <kuku@gilberto.physik.rwth-aachen.de> > Subject: Re: snd into -current > > Recent augmentations in the linux_ioctl area (sound ioctls) > make it a pain to keep up with -current while still using > the newer sounddriver. Ref. Automatic maintenance of local variants of distribution sources: I have many local patches, so I automated local maintenance, Here's how: I keep 2 copies of Src/ & Ports/ trees: Ref/ & Work/ . Ref/ (but not Work/) is maintained by automatically applying CTM deltas received via mail & diverted by my .procmailrc, viewable as: http://www.freebsd.org/~jhs/dots/.procmailrc CTMs pass via /etc/aliases to: http://www.freebsd.org/~jhs/src/bsd/ournix/bin/local/mail/\ ctm-src-cur-incoming which also archives the deltas, so I can also manually apply them to Work/ using cut & paste from output of: http://www.freebsd.org/~jhs/bin/ctms When I occasionally want to start afresh, I copy Ref/ to Work/, & run http://www.freebsd.org/~jhs/bin/customise This applies my tree of patches & new files: http://www.freebsd.org/~jhs/src/bsd/fixes/FreeBSD/\ {src & ports}/{generic & jhs}/..... All of which are indexed at: http://www.freebsd.org/~jhs/src_index.html My http://www.freebsd.org/~jhs/ web directory is usually maintained by daily manual use of rdist (which being slow, usually isn't finished by the time I hang up the modem, so is not guaranteed synchronous ). Grab whatever methods / scripts / patches you fancy. "Share & Enjoy" :-) PS Though I post diffs & new files to the lists, naturally not all get committed, some aren't even in my opinion of generic applicability, hence an ever increasing stockpile, now auto maintained :-). PPS I've converted this mail item to a new http://www.freebsd.org/~jhs/src_automatic.html Julian -- Julian H. Stacey jhs@freebsd.org http://www.freebsd.org/~jhs/
