I've had my /usr/ports dir be a symlink to /usr/u2/ports for some time and this has been working fine. Today however, halfway through a cvsup run the symlink got clobbered and the rest of the cvsup run happily created a new, partial, /usr/ports tree. Here's a little chunk out of the cvsup log: Delete ports/net/tcptrace/patches/patch-aa Delete ports/net/tcptrace/patches/patch-ab Delete ports/net/tcptrace/patches/patch-ac Edit ports/net/tcptrace/pkg/PLIST Add delta 1.3 97.12.15.22.37.37 fenner Delete ports/pkg/DESCR <-- what's this?? Checkout ports/print/ghostscript4/pkg/COMMENT Checkout ports/print/ghostscript4/pkg/DESCR Checkout ports/print/ghostscript4/pkg/PLIST Checkout ports/print/ghostscript4/scripts/configure >From this point on it does Checkouts of the rest of the ports tree in /usr/ports instead of updating /usr/u2/ports. It looks like it deleted the /usr/ports symlink at the time it tried to do Delete ports/pkg/DESCR. (and this looks bogus anyway...) Any idea why cvsup 15.2 would yank the symlink out from under itself? -- Kevin Street street@iName.com
