Mmm, if you are using svn, I do not think you ever need to remove /usr/ports: $ svn co https://svn.freebsd.org/ports/head ports [blah] $ cd ports $ svn info|grep URL URL : https://svn.freebsd.org/ports/head Relative URL: ^/head $ svn switch ^/branches/2016Q4 [blah] $ svn info|grep URL URL : https://svn.freebsd.org/ports/branches/2016Q4 Relative URL: ^/branches/2016Q4 $ svn switch ^/branches/2017Q1 [blah] $ svn info|grep URL URL : https://svn.freebsd.org/ports/branches/2017Q1 Relative URL: ^/branches/2017Q1 For svn switch to really work, you do have to make sure you did not change files in the ports tree. > Would it be possible to "simply" create a symlink at > https://svn.freebsd.org/ports/branches/quarterly that always points to > whatever the current quarterly branch is? That way, everyone who wants > to use quarterly packages/ports wouldn't have to worry about > constantly switching the ports branch on every system they manage. A > side benefit would be that packages and ports can share the > terminology and meaning for their quarterly branch. Bonus points: > change pkg and ports to have a CURRENT symlink pointed to HEAD and a > STABLE symlink pointed to the latest quarterly branch so the names are > more in sync with the base system's branch names. Currently, all our tools working automatically with the quarterly branches do this before any run: latest_branch=3D$(svn ls https://svn.freebsd.org/ports/branches/|sed -ne '/^2.*Q./s|/$||p'|tail -1) All you'd need to do before running svn update would be to run: svn switch ^/branches/$(svn ls https://svn.freebsd.org/ports/branches/|sed -ne '/^2.*Q./s|/$||p'|tail -1= ) and it would automagically switch to the new branch when a new branch happens. > If the symlink would work and easy enough to manage, it would be a > great portsnap default in the base system to match pkg. The icing on > the cake would be a persistent local setting to tell portsnap what > branch to use so the commands to fetch/update the ports tree are > consistent whether using HEAD or a branch. The problems with symbolic links, is that they do not work on all filesystems. --=20 Mathieu Arnold --B9lUD5wtWdjGLg7v9DVG65CXSUtxxbRwq-- --jaV9VrEWUHHvmWibf7UcLqkwEIG9IaQfe Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQJ8BAEBCgBmBQJYuUDNXxSAAAAAAC4AKGlzc3Vlci1mcHJAbm90YXRpb25zLm9w ZW5wZ3AuZmlmdGhob3JzZW1hbi5uZXQzQUI2OTc4OUQyRUQxMjEwNjQ0MEJBNUIz QTQ1MTZGMzUxODNDRTQ4AAoJEDpFFvNRg85IFi0P/3Q+qUZ0tWspakpmqpRHlkkc zPSG9xjSIHR4CkxUyH709cHOxBv614YwxApvVO3IdkwLpD2kRiD6GA/mTR9zIbC0 BDwmzVhVlItaXPppyJqiECXWHOcvpvMmruey5f5l4VTqIxoLIaJEdtNiL4w+e+Qg kJtZiWryU6Sn45t2eA4M0laJFbvGLCKalOMKEjrPj+r7C0E4TlfZ6oNXtbKDctrX NyCiPJC2HIL70iHezV+ylT4HD2SoDozhAvsGkK7TrOw9/QZBuCAeAE1iH6Qts9D4 fI6r4zmakL5tRF7m7Hf52ouW4laZZZSVPfQp+CYj7XFpx7+oNC966MvkfUJ/jLuT Q9bpWuDQAVMPvdGdn/oo3o3gaQg3BeTh6JWXMNLi6JBEzDnhiqL3MwztLtRdTg6D QZQzBifjus0k+xvpNEJhjxG+9unTiv36Nx+vYF9+Som2Qm4HVaz4Nh1yXuqBsko4 wuQQ/LCBxrfwJTqaJqCKahV6AwNnyhHghP8NcP/Q0x2jl2rwq3rUBGM61vnBR5wn izam2LagxUYxgD8PzcojkF+mcPponevI4Da0orlhXi5VNHb9NfgtlVhSdmEGN0p+ gTUU2M3Z0gfqXIZPF24O5JVMAceOUCT21l5bjLrftb2ZM7Njf+XZ7IDtZd1BZ/U7 WzH+QoC0OeJqg0UhJb+m =4cFD -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --jaV9VrEWUHHvmWibf7UcLqkwEIG9IaQfe--
