Oh yeah, I knew that we can't depend on it, I was just curious, that's all.. Do we do a ctm of the ports tree? perhaps that's it? I know cvs preserves the x bits on checkout, but if the ,v files were un-x-ed that would do it too. > Actually we should drop all the x bits in the ports' scripts (if we > can -- will something like "find /home/ncvs/ports -type f | xargs > chmod -x" work?) to make sure nothing breaks.

Hmm.. we already do a find for other ncvs permissions problems, we could add this to the list. Hmm... or even, tweak the post-commit stuff to do it... But that won't help the imports, the post commit stuff isn't run the same way for imports. (I've gone on record before saying I'd slightly prefer new ports to be done with 'cvs add' and have the modules, parent Makefile etc all done in one commit message). > Satoshi Cheers, -Peter
