Greetings, Well after posting a couple of questions to the list regarding questions I had before migrating from (cv)sup to subversion, I took the leap: mv /usr/src/ /usr/src.old/ mkdir /usr/src mv /usr/ports/ /usr/ports.old/ mkdir /usr/ports rm -fr /var/db/sup/* rm -fr /var/db/portsnap/* svn checkout svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/stable/8 /usr/src svn checkout svn://svn.freebsd.org/ports/head /usr/ports I then performed a portmaster -a which left me with a non-working X desktop. Turned out to be a problem with the Nvidia driver -- was 2.9.40, now 3.10.14. But loading it in loader.conf didn't create /dev/nvidia0, or /dev/nvidiactl To make a long story short, I attempted to update my src && ports, and try agaiin; svn update svn://svn.freebsd.org/ports/head /usr/ports FAILED! I don't have the exact output So I tried: cd /usr/ports svn update Which replied: svn: E155036: Please see the 'svn upgrade' command svn: E155036: The working copy at '/usr/ports' is too old (format 29) to work with client version '1.8.0 (r1490375)' (expects f ormat 31). You need to upgrade the working copy first. So I guess subversion isn't (yet) designed for this sort of stuff, which leaves me with a useless box. :( Thank you for all your time, and consideration. --chris
