What the hell are you doing!?!? Sorry! After a failed CVS import (broken dial-up connection to my ISP), I checked how far easy-import had proceded. I found that the modules file had already been updated, and I considered to remove the module name in order to give that port another try. Then I decided, that it was silly to remove the module name only to be able to use easy-import and I completed the import with "cvs import". But the modules files was included by accident ... When I tried to clean up, I "cvs remove"d modules/modules from within the wrong directory. Should have been the newly checked out port, but I did it from the directory from were it had been imported. Because of the sticky Repository tag, this "cvs rm" did not remove the freshly imported bogus copy of the modules file but the *original* file. I immediately noticed my mistake from the commit message, but it was too late. I just had not considered, that importing something into CVS and then deleting it again from the exact same directory could have such an adverse effect. Should have known it (and I have been working with CVS for nearly 10 years), but it still came as a big surprise. Many thanks to John Polstra for cleaning up the mess I made! And sorry for the inconvinience ... Regards, STefan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
