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. -- Edward Elhauge You will eat (you will eat), bye & bye (bye & bye) Uncanny Inc.
