The box now contains a repository at /home/ncvs. I plan to use cvsup to get the latest and greatest repository. Here's what I have: [root@fred:/home/ncvs] # ls -lt total 6 drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 512 Nov 13 01:56 distrib drwxr-xr-x 5 root wheel 1536 Nov 12 23:59 CVSROOT drwxr-xr-x 12 root wheel 512 Nov 12 23:59 doc drwxr-xr-x 50 root wheel 1024 Nov 12 23:59 ports drwxr-xr-x 24 root wheel 1024 Nov 12 23:59 src That distrib directory is the result of the steps indicated at: http://www.polstra.com/projects/freeware/CVSup/faq.html#serversample I'm not sure what use these files are used for. Any clues> [root@fred:/home/ncvs/distrib/cvsup] # ls -lt total 3 drwxr-xr-x 78 root wheel 2048 Nov 13 01:57 sup -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 512 Nov 12 21:30 supfile [root@fred:/home/ncvs/distrib/cvsup] # ls sup README ports-graphics ports-x11-toolkits cvs-all ports-irc ports-x11-wm cvs-crypto ports-japanese src-all distrib ports-java src-base doc-all ports-korean src-bin gnats ports-lang src-contrib mail-archive ports-mail src-crypto ports-all ports-math src-eBones ports-archivers ports-mbone src-etc ports-astro ports-misc src-games ports-audio ports-net src-gnu ports-base ports-news src-include ports-benchmarks ports-palm src-kerberosIV ports-biology ports-print src-lib ports-cad ports-russian src-libexec ports-chinese ports-security src-release ports-comms ports-shells src-sbin ports-converters ports-sysutils src-secure ports-databases ports-textproc src-share ports-deskutils ports-vietnamese src-sys ports-devel ports-www src-sys-crypto ports-editors ports-x11 src-tools ports-emulators ports-x11-clocks src-usrbin ports-ftp ports-x11-fm src-usrsbin ports-games ports-x11-fonts www ports-german ports-x11-servers [root@fred:/home/ncvs/distrib/cvsup] # ls sup/cvs-all/ list.cvs releases I think these files should be located at /usr/local/etc/cvsup/sup/. Should they be moved? Aren't they the files which tell cvsup what is in the repository? Are these the checkout files referred to in the FAQ? > I've also been told there is a port which will go through and kill any > orphans in the source tree. Anyone heard of that? I've been told this is in the contrib subdirectory of the CVSup source distribution. Where is this? cheers. -- Dan Langille - DVL Software Limited The FreeBSD Diary - http://www.freebsddiary.org/freebsd/ NZ FreeBSD User Group - http://www.nzfug.nz.freebsd.org/ The Racing System - http://www.racingsystem.com/racingsystem.htm unix @ home - http://www.unixathome.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hubs" in the body of the message
