In the course of development of -current, a bunch of directories are added and taken away from /usr/src. So, about every month or so, I like to clean out /usr/src/* and start from scratch. (Well, you know, sometimes you have so much of your own old code in there.) What is the best way to refresh /usr/src then? Do I do an ftp of the current src at current.freebsd.org, or is it OK to cvsup from scratch from cvsup[n].freebsd.org? Someone told me it puts too big of a load on the cvs servers by checking out the whole tree from scratch like this. I would say it actually puts a lighter load on the cvsup servers, because there's no files on your machine to compare the tree with. So, you're basically trading bandwidth for load. So, what's the best way to "clean house"? Of course, I only do this once a month or so if even that. I normally cvsup every 1 or 2 days, but you know, every once in a while you've got to clean out the /usr/src because of all the junk directories. - Donn To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
