Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk It's becomming increasingly apparent that I don't have cvsup set up right for what I want to do, but I don't know how I'm supposed to set it up right. I have been running cvsup in checkout mode, however I have local patches which I don't want overwritten by cvsup every time. The logical answer seemed to be to run my own cvs tree, with a separate vendor tag for my local changes. Then I noticed that cvsup can also run in cvs mode, which basically does set up a complete cvs tree. Great, I thought, I'll use that. So I last night I ran cvsup in cvs mode, and it set up everything nicely, but all it downloaded were the checked-in RCS files (the ,v files) plus the CVSROOT stuff. 1. Is this what I wanted to do to accomplish my goal? If not, what should I have done? 2. If so, how do I check out the entire source tree at once so I can do a make world? 3. Was it a good idea to have the stuff unpack in /usr (so I got a /usr/CVSROOT, and /usr/src is full of the RCS files); if not, is there a "standard" place for this stuff to go? Evan
