Somebody put the softupdates files into /home/ncvs/src/sys/ufs/ffs manually on June 21. The files were damaged -- each one had two RELENG_3 tags pointing to different branches. That caused cvsup-master's cvsup jobs to start dying prematurely. (Yes, the dying should be considered a bug.) I deleted the offending files from src/sys/ufs/ffs just now. Now here is what I think will happen to all of you. On your next CVSup update, it will delete your softupdates files and/or symlinks in src/sys/ufs/ffs. Let that go ahead and happen. Then you should be able to create your symlinks again and have them remain untouched by CVSup thereafter. Please don't anybody try to move softupdates into that directory again without talking to me first. John -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
