Hello to all, Not long ago, I ran cvsup "successfully". In the example cvs-supfile, the following opening lines exist: # base=3D/var/db #=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0This specifies the root where= CVSup will store information #=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0about the collections you hav= e transferred to your system. #=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0A setting of "/var/db" will g= enerate this information in #=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0/var/db/sup. =A0Even if you a= re CVSupping a large number of #=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0collections, you will be hard= pressed to generate more than #=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0~1MB of data in this director= y. =A0You can override the #=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0"base" setting on the command= line with cvsup's "-b base" #=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0option. =A0This directory mus= t exist in order to run CVSup. # # prefix=3D/home/ncvs #=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0This specifies where to place= the requested files. =A0A #=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0setting of "/home/ncvs" will = place all of the files #=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0requested in /home/ncvs (e.g.= , "/home/ncvs/src/bin", #=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0"/home/ncvs/ports/archivers")= =2E =A0The prefix directory #=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0must exist in order to run CV= Sup. I attempted running cvsup with "base" and "prefix" locations other than the= =20 ones stated above; and, it did not work. However, when I edited the supfile as described above, the whole process ra= n=20 to completion, "successfully". Well, now I have an updated ports tree in /home/ncvs/ports instead=20 of /usr/ports. So, my question this morning is what do I do with that? =A0Do I=20 treat /home/ncvs/ports as if it were /usr/ports? Do I copy the entire /home/ncvs/ports directory to /usr/ports for updated=20 ports? Thank you in advance for directives. Z. Wade Hampton Twin Bridges, Montana
