The CVSup port has a utility, in the port but not installed, which compares the tree you have with that on the CVS server and tells you what files and directories you have which are 'extra'. It does require Python. I occasionally run it from the ports tree entry as follows: # cd /usr/ports/net/cvsup-bin # make # cd work/cvsup-bin-16.1/contrib/cvsupchk # ./cvsupchk -d /usr -c /usr/sup/ports-all/checkouts.cvs:. EXTRA: /usr/ports/net/aim/work EXTRA: /usr/ports/net/cvsup/cvsup-16.1 EXTRA: /usr/ports/net/cvsup-bin/work EXTRA: /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/linux-gtk/work EXTRA: /usr/ports/distfiles This is a lot better than re-checking out the tree if you have a 56K modem. There are other examples in the README. - Mike H.

Would a reasonable test/fix for this be deleting the entire port directory in question and re-cvsupping? (This should make cvsup recreate everything and update its file lists, right?) -- Christopher Davis * <ckd-sig@ckdhr.com> * <URL:http://www.ckdhr.com/ckd/>; Put location information in your DNS! <URL:http://www.ckdhr.com/dns-loc/>; To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
