Howdy,
For many a moon I've been running CVSup nightly to keep my local cvs
repository in sync. Has worked well all along.
I've been following the discussion here with respect to the problems some
folks have been having with building, checking out, etc. the RELENG_3
sources. Since this sort of process has been working fine for me all
along for checking out the RELENG_2_2 or -CURRENT sources I didn't expect
to have much trouble.
So, yesterday I did this, usual sort of thing (with CVSROOT pointing at my
local repository, of course):
cvs co -rRELENG_3 src
... it starts chewing... I notice that it's not actually extracing any
sources into my current directory. Not wanting to wait for ever, I abort
and do the same but for the module "modules". It quickly spits back:
cvs [checkout aborted]: no such tag RELENG_3
Further digging makes me wonder if my CVSup supfile is out of date, but
comparison with the current handbook documentation doesn't indicate
anything conclusive. I'm using this command to keep my repository up to
date:
/usr/local/bin/cvsup -g -L 2 -P - /etc/cvsupfile
And here is my /etc/cvsupfile:
*default host=cvsup3.FreeBSD.org
*default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup
*default prefix=/usr/cvs/FreeBSD
*default release=cvs
*default delete use-rel-suffix
distrib
distrib release=self
src-all
cvs-crypto
ports-all
doc-all
This looks okay to me, but I'm not really up to snuff on this stuff.
Is there anything that jumps out here as a reason why my CVS repository
doesn't seem to know about the RELENG_3 tag? ...or other ideas about what
I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!
