From: John Polstra To: ports@freebsd.org Subject: CVSup snapshot 16.1a is now available Sender: owner-freebsd-ports@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Some of you who use CVSup might wish to consider upgrading to the new snapshot, called version 16.1a. It contains fixes for a number of bugs, including ... ... the one that sometimes caused CVSup to delete the symbolic link to your ports tree and replace it with a new copy of the tree. For the entire list of changes, see the "ChangeLog" file in the source distribution. As the term "snapshot" implies, this is not quite up to the standards of a real release. There is some stuff in it that's only half baked, and it's not tested as well as an actual release. However, it works fine for me and it contains some useful fixes. I have created a port "net/cvsup-devel" which you can use to build the snapshot. The source distribution itself is available on most FreeBSD FTP mirrors in the directory /pub/FreeBSD/development/CVSup/snapshots Before somebody asks, this snapshot is available in source form only. If I had time to deal with binaries, I would have made an official release. So buck up, and no whining. I know you can handle it. ;-) John -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
