Although cvsup(1) says `There is currently no provision for comments in refuse files.', in /usr/share/examples/cvsup/refuse: #You can copy this file to your sup directory and uncomment or add #whatever you would like. I propose to change the above two lines in /usr/share/examples/cvsup/refuse to: #You can copy this file to your sup directory and uncomment or add #whatever you would like. It should be noted that any comment must be #removed from refuse files as there is currently no provision for comments. or add the following lines to /usr/share/examples/cvsup/refuse. #---------------------------------------------------------------------------- #CAUTION:Any comment must be removed from refuse files as there is currently # no provision for comments. #---------------------------------------------------------------------------- If there are comments in /usr/sup/refuse by mistake caused by the explanation in /usr/share/examples/cvsup/refuse, the behavior of `cvsup' depends strongly on the server-defined collection of files and even on the comments. This is the cause of the delayed finding of this problem. For example, 1. If one uses the whole /usr/share/examples/cvsup/refuse as /usr/sup/refuse, cvsup works for `ports-all' and donsn't work for 'src-all'(no error but never update). 2. If one uses the modified /usr/share/examples/cvsup/refuse where the second line from the end of the file (#Use this feature with care -- many parts of the src distribution depend) are removed, cvsup works for `ports-all' and `src-all'. Best regards, Jun Ushida >How-To-Repeat: Uses the whole /usr/share/examples/cvsup/refuse as /usr/sup/refuse. The command `cvsup' works for `ports-all' and donsn't work for 'src-all'(no error but never update). >Fix: Modify /usr/share/examples/cvsup/refuse as I proposed. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
