Ah ha. You're trying to check out the entire thing, which includes the
ports collection.
This is what I do:
- I keep a copy of all the FreeBSD repositorys in
/usr/local/cvs-reps/FreeBSD/
This means that I have the directories 'doc', 'src' and 'ports' under
there.
- When I checkout the source I
# cd /usr/src
# setenv CVSROOT /usr/local/cvs-reps/FreeBSD
# cvs checkout -d . -r RELENG_2_2 src
This checks out the src directory from the repository, and roots the
files in the current directory (the '-d .' parameter).
If I didn't do this then CVS would create a 'src' directory in the
current directory, giving me "/usr/src/src/".
- After I've run CVSup I can then
# cd /usr/src
# cvs update -Pd
and it does the right thing.
Let me know if that helps.
