I just tried to update ports (probably not done it in a while) and there were lots of missing repository directories. I just nuked the port and checked it out again the first few times but the third time (xemacs) I got suspicious that my tree was this badly smashed and took a look. I've got a directory /home/ports/editors/xemacs/patches which looks pretty old originat:xemacs/patches% ls -la total 4 drwxrwxr-x 3 root wheel 512 Jan 22 1996 ./ drwxrwxr-x 6 root wheel 512 Oct 27 17:22 ../ drwxrwxr-x 2 root wheel 512 Jan 22 1996 CVS/ -rw-rw-r-- 1 root wheel 596 Jun 20 1995 patch-ab and this directory isn't in the repository anymore originat:editors/xemacs% pwd /home/ncvs/ports/editors/xemacs originat:editors/xemacs% ls -la total 12 drwxrwxr-x 4 root daemon 512 Oct 27 17:22 ./ drwxrwxr-x 22 root daemon 512 Oct 27 17:21 ../ -rw-rw-r-- 1 root daemon 7374 Aug 21 14:18 Makefile,v drwxrwxr-x 2 root daemon 512 Oct 27 17:22 files/ drwxrwxr-x 2 root daemon 512 Jul 30 00:24 pkg/ Anyone know what happened? Things aren't supposed to totally vanish like that. As I said, xemacs was the third, I remember the first was archive/zip/patches and the second was cad/pcb/patches. The scary thing is that none of these ports now have patches, did someone simply nuke the patches directory from the cvs repository because they thought it wasn't needed anymore? -- Paul Richards, Originative Solutions Ltd.
