see http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=27495 for a resolution. this is the part I think that helped me: This was caused by the combination of a problem in the CVS repository (which has been fixed) and a bug in CVSup (which has not been fixed). Here is the recommended work-around. After you do this (once) you shouldn't see the problem again. 1. Delete the "jakarta-tomcat' directory from your ports tree with "rm -rf". 2. Find your checkouts file. It is named "/usr/sup/ports-all/checkouts.cvs:." if you are using the example "ports-supfile" from "/usr/share/examples/cvsup". Or substitute your actual collection name for "ports-all" if you're doing things differently. If you still don't know where to look, study the cvsup(1) man page very carefully. Once you find the checkouts file, edit it and delete all lines containing "jakarta-tomcat". 3. Run cvsup in the usual way (without the "-s" option). http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=27495 State-Changed-From-To: analyzed->feedback State-Changed-By: jdp State-Changed-When: Sat May 26 17:06:21 PDT 2001 State-Changed-Why: I have added a patch to the "net/cvsup" and "net/cvsup-devel" ports which fixes this problem. People who upgrade to the latest version of one of these ports will not need to apply the work-around described earlier in this PR. With this patch, CVSup will still complain that it cannot delete "files" because the directory is not empty. However, it is now a warning rather than a fatal error, and the update will run to completion. The warning will happen only once. After emitting the warning, CVSup will fix the damage in the checkouts file to eliminate the problem. On subsequent updates everything will be OK and no more warnings will occur. I have bumped PORTREVISION to 1, and added "p1" to the end of the version number printed by CVSup, to make it easy to determine whether you have the patched port or not. Note, the "cvsup-bin" port is NOT patched, and will not be patched. If you want to upgrade you will need to install the "cvsup" or "cvsup-devel" port. Or, wait a few days until new packages appear on the FTP sites and install one of them. These two packages are now self-contained -- they don't depend at runtime on any Modula-3 packages. This ends the saga of this PR, but I will leave it in the "feedback" state for a while longer to help prevent duplicates. http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=27495 jim Joel Dinel wrote: > > I use the following command to update my ports tree : > > cvsup -g -L 2 /usr/src/supfile > > Here's the contents of supfile : > > st=cvsup.ca.freebsd.org > *default base=/usr > *default prefix=/usr > *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4 > *default delete use-rel-suffix > *default compress > ports-all tag=. > > This worked well up to now.
