Message-Id: <20021123043826.C0FCB647FFE@server5.fastmail.fm> Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi - For the first time ever I have tried to upgrade a FreeBSD by using CVS. In fact I used CVSUPIT. I'm on 4.4-RELEASE and I just wanted to move up to 4.5,6 or 7. Well I answered a few questions, pressed the button and the process commenced 'checking out' hundreds of files. I thought this was a bit suprising given I thought the whole point of CVS was to only pull those files which had changed - it just seemed to be pulling everying ! Anyway I had to CTRL-C it after a while as the file system had gone to 105%. My question is (CVSUP file below) can anyone tell me what it has done and what I was doing wrong ? Is there some sort of standard rule of thumb for how much extra file space will be required ? I was expecting to pull a couple of hundred sources and that would be that ... Do I now have half 4.x (where x > 4) sources and half 4.4 or was CVSUPIT copying files into a work directory ? The other thing is that I really only wanted to upgrade from 4.4 to 4.5 initially but RELENG_4 was the nearest I got to being asked what release I was after - was there something I missed there ? Any info would be welcome. regards richard shea. ps : The CVSUP file which CVSUPIT created looks like this ... *default host=cvsup.FreeBSD.org *default base=/usr *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs *default tag=RELENG_4 *default delete use-rel-suffix src-all *default tag=. ports-all doc-all ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The Cuba Group PO Box 1864 Wellington New Zealand PH +64 4 496 5205 MO +64 21 296 6839 FX +64 4 496 5209 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
