There were trees missing which I recreated (Maybe I deleted them by mistake), since then, from script http://www.berklix.com/~jhs/src/bsd/jhs/bin/local/ctms/ctms Dec 20 23:12 src-cur.14812.gz Stopped Mar 31 16:36 ports-cur.13927.gz Stopped src-12 to src-4 inclusive Running svn-cur Running So until freebsd.org remove stable from SVN we should get all src stable. I long ago added src-13 to mailman lists & ctm.berklix.org server has empty: /pub/FreeBSD/branches/13.0-stable/src /pub/FreeBSD/development/CTM/src-13 It would be easy for me to clone & edit src-12 script for src-13 but I dont know the magic Stephen runs to initialise tres & those *Empty* etc. > > I think now is a good time to switch from CTM to git. git really has > > many of the advantages that CTM has.

Yes, git today took me 20 mins on line to update all my local trees, If I'd been receiving CTM mail, it would have taken a minute, then laptop would be free to disconnect & travel & apply whenever later. + sometimes I dont want latest, but an earlier CTM version. PS I would later like to see a CTM feed of a GIT tree, as for svn-cur now, so one could later do local off line git, as one can do off line svn export. > A solution might be net/gitup which is quite lightweight but currently > does not work via HTTP proxies (but people are working on it). I've got standard git running here, but I'm not experienced with it, & no time to convert server ctm scripts to use git instead of svn, Sorry, Brexit has been a distracting time wasting hell: First Britain stole referendum voting rights from 3.7 million British citizens living abroad inc. 750 K in the EU. Currency speculators & tax evaders etc funded Brexit campaigns. Cambridge Analytica targeted ads etc. the Brexit referendum passed by 1.27 M. British in Europe inc. me, lost life long "Member of an EU state" residents & work permits etc; lots of new support docs & test criteria in local languages to re-apply. eg Some driving licences in France cancelled, some Brits in Spain kicked out, Some rights to work in peril, etc. So not enough of my time on CTM, sorry. Cheers, -- Julian Stacey http://berklix.com/jhs/ http://stolenvotes.uk UK for Brexit stole 750K votes from Brits in EU of 3.7M globaly. Zap BoJo Mogg.
