I agree. You will need about 2G these days for a /home/ncvs/ but if this is an important server farm then the increased independence and flexibility should be worth the cheap disk space. > If you do this, you will be able to create a /usr/src as of any branch & > date/time -- you can track any such branch, all with the same CVS repo; > /usr/src would just be a normal CVS "working directory" (as would > /usr/ports). In years past the de driver was going thru major changes and giving my version 0 21040 card fits. For a while, was able to keep the old version and update everything else via CVS. Recently gphoto 2.0 worked but 2.1 did not. Was easy to revert my personal copy of /usr/ports/graphics/gphoto2 and once again suck pictures off my camera. One other thing from the original message, IMO updating every day is a bit excessive. I keep about 10 machines running FreeBSD-stable. About twice per week I look to see what cvsup has for /usr/src. Or when FreeBSD-Announce has something earth shattering to say. Same for /usr/ports, I look to see what of importance to me has changed. Will cvsup additional times when something isn't working. On internal machines I use cvs via pserver to update off my mirror CVS repository. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
