Is it just me, or is ports/Tools/scripts/addport totally broken and useless now? It goes fine up to the point of doing the commit and then cvs aborts because it could not find some temp file in /tmp that it must think it put there. As for /tmp on what machine, local or ncvs., I have no idea which it means. I am extremely sorry I cant give the exact transcript, but it has gotten to the the point where it knows where to insert the dir in the list of subdirs in the category Makefile, and then tries to commit and aborts. End result: the port dir (and any subdirs, like 'files') are created in the repo, but no files are there and the port is not added to the category Makefile or to CVSROOT/modules. Can anybody shed any light on this? Is it because I'm adding a port from a location outside of $PORTSDIR (which did work before the repo was moved)? I ended up adding the port manually and all went well, so I'm a little perplexed. -- AlanE (Alan Eldridge), who likes fixing weird distributed systems bugs.
