OK I'm trying to get into the FreeBSD contributers groove on ports so I've
been switching over to getting a complete CVS tree and then extracting
RELENG_2_1_0 from it.
I seem to have the complete CVS tree extracted from:
cvsup.freebsd.org
and I get the
src-all
src-eBones
src-secure
ports-all
collections.
The recipe I use to extract the RELENG_2_1_0 release is:
cvs -q checkout -P -f -r RELENG_2_1_0 -N world
This works OK except that because of the -f flag I get a lot of deleted cruft
in the ./src tree. This flag is supposed to grab the latest version of a file
if it can't find one that matches the release tag.
Unfortunately when I try to get rid of that flag (-f) something very weird
happens. All the ./ports files are extracted and created but as I watch them
(in another window) they get deleted directory by directory just as soon as
they are created.
What I gather from this is that either:
1) I'm doing something wrong in the cvs, checkout recipe.
or
2) the ./ports directory is not tagged to match the RELENG_2_1_0
release and I have to deal with it as a separate extract.
Would anyone that is knowledgeable about the CVS tree clarify this for me.
