I'm trying to upgrade to 3.1R and hoping to take advantage of the fact that I have all the 3.0R source code by pulling across only the updates over my slow modem link. Unfortunately I don't know if 'cvs update' can do what I want. When I attempt to update using cvs -d anoncvs@anoncvs.freebsd.org update -r RELEASE_3_1_0 (in a ports directory since that's where the tag is valid) it says cvs [server aborted]: cannot write /cvs/CVSROOT/val-tags: Permission denied This is apparently because cvs needs "to keep track of what tags are valid tag names". [Cederqvist v1.9 4.4.2] Is there a flag I can give cvs to tell it not to try to open this file (read-write) ? In other words, force it to trust the tag I've given ? If not, it would seem there's no way to use update and tags with anonymous cvs. (Alternatively I could give it a timestamp to update my files to but this presents the problems of how to figure out exactly when the last 3.1R check-in was made, avoiding check-ins right after the release and getting files on branches.) If cvs can't do this, can cvsup take advantage of the 3.0R source present ? _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?
