Hi, From: charon@freethought.org Date: Sun, 07 Feb 1999 18:53:12 -0800 ::After reading http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook272.html and 'man ::ctm' several times, I have to say that I still don't understand it very ::well. Take this example from the handbook: ::<snip> ::To apply the deltas, simply say: :: :: cd /where/ever/you/want/the/stuff :: ctm -v -v /where/you/store/your/deltas/src-xxx.* ::</snip> :: ::What on earth is "/where/ever/you/want/the/stuff"? The ::"/where/you/store/your/deltas/" is obvious, but there's no explanation at ::all for the first directory. :: ::I think this is the only problem I have, because if when I run ctm it says ::that everything checks out okay, but I don't think it's in the right ::directory (i.e. I ran ctm in /usr/CTM, where I have the gzipped deltas, and ::the result sure doesn't look right). I think I just need a little more ::hand-holding than the documentation provides... Thanks, You have to create your own "/where/ever/you/want/the/stuff" directory and apply yor deltas. For example, # mkdir /usr/src/3.0-STABLE # cd /usr/src/3.0-STABLE # ctm -v /where/you/store/your/deltas/src-3.* or # mkdir /usr/src/3.0-STABLE # cd /where/you/store/your/deltas # ctm -v -b /usr/src/3.0-STABLE src-3.* If your are starting off from some where in a huge tree, you could use the "src-*00xEmpty.gz" file. For example, # mkdir /usr/src/what-ever # cd /where/you/store/your/deltas Now, get src-*.??00xEmpty.gz and following src-*.????.gz files. Then, # ctm -v -b /usr/src/what-ever src-*.??00xEmpty.gz # ctm -v -b /usr/src/what-ever src-*.????.gz Hope this helps.
