>Release: FreeBSD 2.2.8-STABLE i386
>Organization:
eBORcOM
>Environment:
No local CVS repository on the machine, but a recent copy of the
ports tree, retrieved by CVSup. Also, the www tree used to build the
FreeBSD Web site.
>Description:
The build process for the FreeBSD Web site relies on a copy of the
CVS repository. However, the data extracted will also be present on
machines which use CVSup to collect the ports tree.
I have added a NOCVS variable, which tries to build the Web site
from other data if the CVS tree is not present. The patch below
allows the English version of the Web site to be built without a CVS
repository. Similar patches could be applied to other langauges'
build processes.
I cannot think of any negative side-effects introduced with this
change. It will allow people to build a copy of the Web site with
stale information from /usr/ports, but this is already possible if a
stale CVS repository is used.
