Hi.

I sent this to questions@freebsd.org, but got no response. Sorry if this
is in the wrong place, but thought you might have a suggestion.

Mark Murray did suggest quite a few things, the most interesting being
cvssup. However, this assumes I've got modula3 installed. Over a dialup,
downloading a 10MB+ tar.gz file is not fun. I want to know if it will work
though - then I will do it. The (other) obvious alternative is to
re-download the whole tree - not attractive at all.

And if I do, what do I do to get back to ctm (which is quite easy) ?

---message---
I'm afraid I might have possibly smoked my CVS tree. I hadn't applied the
ctm deltas in quite a while, and decided to do so tonight. Unfortunately,
it didn't work :

[chain] /usr/home/ncvs# cat .ctm_status
cvs-cur 2521
[chain] /usr/home/ncvs# ctm ../ctm/cvs-cur.2521.gz 
Delta number 2521 is already applied; ignoring.
Exit(0)
[chain] /usr/home/ncvs# ctm ../ctm/cvs-cur.2522.gz 
  DM: ports/mail/mailagent exists.
  DM: ports/mail/mailagent/files exists.
  DM: ports/mail/mailagent/patches exists.
  DM: ports/mail/mailagent/pkg exists.
  DM: ports/mail/mailagent/scripts exists.
  FN: CVSROOT/commitlogs/CVSROOT md5 mismatch.
  FN: CVSROOT/commitlogs/CVSROOT edit fails.
Exit(120)
[chain] /usr/home/ncvs# 

I think I might have smoked the tree :-( Now, I'm a dial up user, so I
don't want to re-download the whole tree again. Is there any way for me to
take the tree back to say, cvs-cur.2450 and apply all the deltas since
then ?

TIA,
