The following reply was made to PR conf/44050; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Murray Stokely <murray@FreeBSD.org> To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org Cc: Subject: Re: conf/44050: CVSUPIT package when installed from /stand/sysinstall appears to hang Date: Sun, 4 May 2003 21:58:55 -0700 This bug has existed for at least 5 years, and it is still unresolved. It highlights serious weaknesses in our installation tool. I think as a workaround a special version of cvsupit should be included on the installation media that does not prompt for user input. This is really a ports/packages issue, since the alternative (writing a new installer / making a major paradigm change in sysinstall), is so much more time consuming. I'm not sure if jkh is still actively maintaining cvsupit. Someone should really provide a patch to that port and post it in this PR trail. - Murray
