Hackers, I have happily used sup to maintain my local -stable source directory. However, lately I've notice that the sup server mirrors sup2, sup3, and sup5 appear to be either out-of-date or flawed in some way. For example, (wrapped to fit) src-secure release=stable host=sup3.FreeBSD.org hostbase=/home base=/usr \ prefix=/usr/src delete old use-rel-suffix should retrieve the src-secure distribution. However, it seems to get src-sys from sup3. On sup5, the following works src-base release=stable host=sup5.FreeBSD.org hostbase=/home base=/usr \ prefix=/usr/src delete old use-rel-suffix unfortunately this causes the creation of TODO-2.1/ with the accompanying out-of-date TODO files for several core team members (and contributors?). This was deleted long, long ago. The only recourse that one has is to sup from sup.freebsd.org. This is not a good thing from the stand point of the load on freefall. Yes, I know about CTM. Yes, I know that 2.1.5 has a BETA SNAP out, and -stable might be meeting a timely death (although Paul Richards(?) has volunteered to maintain a bugfix only branch for 2.1.5). Is it too much trouble to ask the maintainers of the sup server mirrors to check their distributions? -- Steve finger kargl@troutmask.apl.washington.edu http://troutmask.apl.washington.edu/~kargl/sgk.html
