As part of my FreshPorts fun, I decided that after fetching a file from cvsweb, I should make sure the fetch worked. I decided to do that via file(1) and inspect the output. I was testing for ASCII, but that appears to not be good enough. Now I just test for HTML and reverse the sense of the test. Here was the most amusing output: $ file -b /usr/home/dan/ports/databases/mysql++/Makefile Apple Old Partition data block size: 21117 first type: AS_CONFIGURE= yes, number of blocks: 1702047597, $ head /usr/home/dan/ports/databases/mysql++/Makefile # ports collection makefile for: MySQL++ # Date created: 20th July 2000 # Whom: Miklos Niedermayer <mico@bsd.hu> # # $FreeBSD: ports/databases/mysql++/Makefile,v 1.10 2002/02/11 13:15:14 ijliao Exp $ # PORTNAME= mysql++ PORTVERSION= 1.7.9 CATEGORIES= databases devel -- Dan Langille The FreeBSD Diary - http://freebsddiary.org/ - practical examples To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
