Just a "heads-up" for people using the cvs tree.. I just did a periodic cleanup of the junk Attic directories and removed old-ish now-empty dirs under the ports tree. If people have been checking stuff out without using using the needed -P flag, doing the next update may cause cvs to have a fit when it tries to process your bogusly existing directories. You will see something like: cvs update: in directory /usr/ports/foo/bar: cvs [update aborted]: there is no repository /home/ncvs/ports/foo/bar This is because your /usr/ports/foo/bar was not pruned when it should have been, and you manually need to get rid of it. If you do an 'ls' of the directory in question, there should only be a CVS directory in there. Providing that is the case, you need to rm -r that directory (/usr/ports/foo/bar) before cvs will continue. And the usual reminder for using the cvs tree.. When checking out fresh source, do not forget the -P flag. ie: cvs checkout -P <module>. When doing a cvs update, do not forget the -d and -P flags. ie: cvs update -dP. This appears to catch a few people every now and then. (Beware, this is posted to several lists, be careful with any replies!) -Peter
