I'm running FreeBSD 3.2-RELEASE and want to track RELENG_3.
I installed all of the sources when I installed the release.
I set up a supfile
*default host=cvsup2.freebsd.org
*default base=/usr
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_3
*default delete use-rel-suffix
*default compress
src-all
src-crypto
src-secure
and it just fine with the command
cvsup -g -L 2 supfile
Now, looking at page 379 in "The Complete FreeBSD" 3rd Edition,
there is a script underneath "Putting it all together". I took a
portion of that script and made my own script.
#!/bin/sh
echo ====== `date`: Updating /usr/src
echo cd /usr/src
cd /usr/src
cvs update -P -d
echo ====== `date`: Rebuilding TAGS
cd /usr/src/sys
rm -f TAGS
find . -follow -name "*.[csh]" | xargs etags -a
echo ====== `date`: Rebuilding STABLE
echo cd /usr/src
cd /usr/src
make world
When I run this script, the cvs update bombs with messages about
no CVSROOT environment variable set. I tried setting CVSROOT=/usr
however that did not work it said /usr/CVSROOT wasn't a repository.
Am I supposed to build a repository first, I thought when I installed
FreeBSD 3.2-RELEASE with all sources that was the repository. Do I need
to build a repository or can I just 'make world' and skip the repository
step since I am updating /usr/src directly and don't have a 'separate'
tree??? The manual does not seem to make this distinction?
I am confused, can someone elighten me please???
