Hi Erik, > I use CVS to check out from my own local copy of the repository (which > it seems you do too.) I use CVSup to keep my local copy of the > repository updated (cvsuping from cvsup.dk.freebsd.org) Could you please post your supfile? The Handbook does not document cvsuping the repository, nor where the master mirror sites are. Some rsync sites are listed, though (Section A.8). I strongly disgree with the documented way of updating the sources via cvsup (Handbook, A.5). A local copy of the sources, without CVS tags, makes it impossible to generate patches of own changes. I suppose much work gets lost like this. > Is there some particular reason you use rsync instead of cvsup to get a > copy the repository? 1. rsync -> only documented method 2. allbsd.org -> random choice > Since I don't use rsync I have no idea if teh above line is correct or > not.

The only way to check this out is by using an "official" repository.

Read better: -R Turns on read-only repository mode. > *Bad* idea. I really do not appreciate getting 2+ MB in a mail, and I > don't think anybody else on the freebsd-stable list does either. I apologize for that. > I didn't see anything obviously wrong in the logs. Well, me neither :/. Vlad
