I cvsup(1) the FreeBSD CVS repository. I've noticed something that
annoys me slightly, but also makes me worry if I am not doing
something correctly. The CVS/Entries file does not seem to get updated
when I do a 'cvs update.'
First, I have,
$ cat .cvsrc
# $Id: .cvsrc,v 1.1 2001/10/08 04:52:43 cjc Exp $
#
diff -u
update -dP
As an example, when I run,
$ cvs up ports/x11-wm
cvs update: Updating ports/x11-wm
? ports/x11-wm/golem
? ports/x11-wm/kdeartwork
? ports/x11-wm/mosfet-liquid
? ports/x11-wm/phluid
? ports/x11-wm/ratmenu
cvs update: Updating ports/x11-wm/9menu
cvs update: Updating ports/x11-wm/9menu/files
cvs update: Updating ports/x11-wm/9wm
cvs update: Updating ports/x11-wm/9wm/files
cvs update: Updating ports/x11-wm/aewm
.
.
.
cvs update: Updating ports/x11-wm/golem
.
.
.
cvs update: Updating ports/x11-wm/kdeartwork
.
.
.
It claims it does not know about golem, kdeartwork, mosfet-liquid,
phluid, and ratmenu, but they are recursed into and updated. If I run
the same 'cvs up' again, I get the same result. Even though the
modification time of CVS/Entries is changed everytime, those
directories are not added. If I do a fresh 'cvs co' of ports_x11_wm,
those directories are in the CVS/Entries file, so they are not
actually stale directories.
Why isn't the CVS/Entries file updated? Am I not doing something
correctly. I've got a bunch of '?' entries produced everytime I update
the ports tree and it would be nice to know which are problems and
which, like these, are "false alarms."
