Re: Crontab for different ime zones
Is there a way to start jobs with cron using different a time-zone different from local time zone?

The way I did it: - start the cron job at the earliest of both time (winter time, or summer time). - at the begining of the job, have a small Perl script that will wait until it is the specified time in the specified time zone: at best it will not wait, at worst the perl script will sit idled for one hour before giving the hand back to the real job.

Re: Why?? (prog question)
I don't want to start a style debate, but forgive me the
following annotations:
1. Use the tab character for indentation. You can set its
length with your favourite editor (e. g. mcedit: F9,
Options, General; joe: ^TD). Don't waste with spaces.
2. The main() function should be declared as
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
or
int main(int argc, char **argv)
Note that it's returning (int). Use this functionality.
3. In case of errors (e. g. incorrect number of parameters)
use fprintf() to stderr, or perror() with the builtin
error handling (e. g. for file not found by fopen()).
4. Use the predefined return codes, don't hardcode them.
FreeBSD has EXiT_SUCCESS and EXIT_FAILURE, they're for
maximum compatibility (such as with Linux). There are
more exit codes for differentiation, but they're specific
to FreeBSD, as far as I know.
5. This is highly debatable: Use a good style for { and }.
6. Use delimiters around operators, e. g. buf[strlen(buf) - 1]
instead of buf[strlen(buf)-1]; increases readability.
Here is the program again, with some stylistic modifications
and the correct (read: recommended, usual) exit code handling:
/*
* simple prog to join all | very nearly all lines of a text file
* that make up one paragraph into one LONG line.
*
* paragraphs are delimiated by a single \n break.
*/
#include stdio.h
#include string.h
#include stdlib.h
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
char buf[65536];
if(argc == 1) {
fprintf(stderr, Usage: %s file newfile\n, argv[0]);
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
while (fgets(buf, sizeof buf, stdin)) {
if(*buf == '\n') {
fprintf(stdout, \n\n);
} else {
buf[strlen(buf) - 1] = ' ';
fputs(buf, stdout);
}
}
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
Note that compiling with -Wall (always a good option) doesn't
show any warning.
I read my advices again... makes me sound so old! :-)

Issues with OpenLDAP 2.4.15 and FreeBSD 8.0-CUrrent as well as with FreeBSD 7.2-PRE using DB 4.7
I reported this earlier here and now I'm about to file a PR. Before that, I will ask whether there is a solution out here or someone can give a hint in case I ran into a hidden misconfiguration. First I see on all FreeBSD flavours (7.2 and 8.0) a coredump of LDAP clients when doing ldapsearch, ldappasswd. The client performs well, but at the end it terminates with some SIG 11. Another very severe issue is with Db 4.7 and OpenLDAP 2.4.15 as taken from ports. On FreeBSD 7.1/7.2 I was running a OpenLDAP 1.4.15 server, used with DB 4.6. Several experimental boxes with FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT and FreeBSD 7.1/7.2 were referring to that LDAP server for user authetication. After backing up the database, installing DB 4.7, recompiling everything that depends on DB 4.X, recompiling at last OpenLDAP and doing a Db recover ends up in a problem. The clients which were willing to perform logins via ssh by autheticating users via this LDAP server refuses now authentication! The same client authenticates the users of the LDAP server via LDAP authentication when accessing protected webpages served by lighttpd. I also can enumerate /home with users taken from the LDAP server, except login in via ssh. I did not change sshd's config, so I suspect something else. Watching console log and slapd log I see no issues aside the slapd log, but console and sshd log tell something about an unknown user with uid . Googling for this error I find a lot of sshd/nss/ldap related issues - but no solution. Doinf a 'sudo' or 'su' on the same machine to users residing on LDAP db is possible. But connection via ssh isn't possible. Another very strange behaviour occurs on FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT serving as OpenLDAP 2.4.15 server with cysrus-sasl compiled in and DB 4.7. Authentication to this server, even from the local host, takes approximately 20 - 30 seconds, connecting LUMA for administering also takes that long, even showing up the DIT in LUMA takes unconveniently long times to perform. This happens when this server was updated from FreeBSD 7.2-PRE to FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT with all the stuff completely fresh installed. Before the upgrade, the OpenLDAP server was running 2.4.15 with DB 4.7 as well as it does now under FreeBSD 8.0-CUR. Well, even with fresh standard installations taken from the templates when using nss_ldap/pam_ldap/OpenLDAP shows those strange issues on all mentioned boxes and OS flavours. Now I think I ran into a severe issue with either OpenLDAP 2.4.15 and/or FreeBSD 8.0.

Re: Issues with OpenLDAP 2.4.15 and FreeBSD 8.0-CUrrent as well as with FreeBSD 7.2-PRE using DB 4.7
O. Hartmann pisze: I reported this earlier here and now I'm about to file a PR. Before that, I will ask whether there is a solution out here or someone can give a hint in case I ran into a hidden misconfiguration. First I see on all FreeBSD flavours (7.2 and 8.0) a coredump of LDAP clients when doing ldapsearch, ldappasswd. The client performs well, but at the end it terminates with some SIG 11. That's really funny when ldapadd just do what you want it to do, and gives you core dump instead of bye bye ;) I have the same issue with FreeBSD 7.2 (I'm not using OpenLDAP on CURRENT). From my observations this behaviour depends on options checked with 'make config'. SIG 11 occurs with default settings, so I checked ONLY bdb, perl and SASL (just what I needed for shared address book). and now it is working like a charm. However it's not a SOLUTION for this problem, especially when you need other options from config. -- Bartosz Stec ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I don't want to start a style debate, but forgive me the
following annotations:
1. Use the tab character for indentation. You can set its
length with your favourite editor (e. g. mcedit: F9,
Options, General; joe: ^TD). Don't waste with spaces.
2. The main() function should be declared as
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
or
int main(int argc, char **argv)
Note that it's returning (int). Use this functionality.
3. In case of errors (e. g. incorrect number of parameters)
use fprintf() to stderr, or perror() with the builtin
error handling (e. g. for file not found by fopen()).
4. Use the predefined return codes, don't hardcode them.
FreeBSD has EXiT_SUCCESS and EXIT_FAILURE, they're for
maximum compatibility (such as with Linux). There are
more exit codes for differentiation, but they're specific
to FreeBSD, as far as I know.
5. This is highly debatable: Use a good style for { and }.
6. Use delimiters around operators, e. g. buf[strlen(buf) - 1]
instead of buf[strlen(buf)-1]; increases readability.
Here is the program again, with some stylistic modifications
and the correct (read: recommended, usual) exit code handling:
/*
* simple prog to join all | very nearly all lines of a text file
* that make up one paragraph into one LONG line.
*
* paragraphs are delimiated by a single \n break.
*/
#include stdio.h
#include string.h
#include stdlib.h
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
char buf[65536];
if(argc == 1) {
fprintf(stderr, Usage: %s file newfile\n, argv[0]);
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
while (fgets(buf, sizeof buf, stdin)) {
if(*buf == '\n') {
fprintf(stdout, \n\n);
} else {
buf[strlen(buf) - 1] = ' ';
fputs(buf, stdout);
}
}
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
Note that compiling with -Wall (always a good option) doesn't
show any warning.
I read my advices again... makes me sound so old! :-)
Tabbing is the worst form of indentation. It is *much* better to use
spaces consistently.

Re: Question about forcing fsck at boottime
2009/3/31 manish jain invalid.poin...@gmail.com: BTW, a lot of people who posted replies thought I was not aware that a preen is always executed at startup. When I said I wanted to force an fsck, I meant 'fsck -fy'. As for background checks, they are - in my opinion - a real nightmare. Even though I am just a learner on FreeBSD still, I can assure anyone, putting background_fsck=NO into your rc.conf is one of the best things you can do. As for the reason why I want to force fsck is that it has now happened 3 timed that, after a clean and proper shutdown - with no foreign filesystems mounted, FreeBSD has complained on system restart (twice on a 5.x distribution I had briefly used and now once on 7.1) that / was not properly unmounted. Having bgfsck enabled is like inviting a dragon to dinner when this happens. Sorry, but I have to disagree. The filesystem that FreeBSD uses (UFS to some, FFS to others) has a feature known as 'snapshots', something alien to people in the Linux world. What this means, is that one can take a 'snapshot' of a drive's state (somewhat like a versioning tag), and mount, dump, OR fsck it. The point of a background fsck is that the SNAPSHOT is fsck'd, and only if there is a problem (which there usually isn't, due to soft-updates meaning that data are rarely lost on power loss) does fsck require write access to the volume in question. This is also why you can dump a live filesystem in FreeBSD. Just to reiterate something said a thousand times, there is NOTHING WRONG with background fscks, and just because something doesn't work well for GNU/Linux doesn't mean it doesn't work with FreeBSD. There are many differences, after all. Chris -- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? A: Top-posting.

Can somebody please point me in the right direction ? fsck -p is done by default (meaning, filesystems are not fully scanned if they are marked clean). If pruning fails, background_fsck is checked, which will work on UFS systems with soft updates, but is not recommended by many as it may leave some errors unchecked. I don't think that's quite right, fsck -p is only done if background_fsck=NO, otherwise an fsck -pF is done instead. The latter does an fsck -p on filesystems that aren't eligible for background checking - usually root and any none UFS filesystems.

The messages after the second message is probably due to you opening the drives manually, bypassing gstripe, probably with the following commands. # bsdlabel ad1 # /dev/ad1: 8 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 1250280640 16 4.2BSD 2048 16384 28552 c: 1250280656 0 unused 0 0 # raw part, don't edit partition a: partition extends past end of unit partition c: partition extends past end of unit bsdlabel: partition c doesn't cover the whole unit! bsdlabel: An incorrect partition c may cause problems for standard system utilities # bsdlabel ad3 # /dev/ad3: 8 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 625142432 16 4.2BSD 2048 16384 28552 c: 625142448 0 unused 0 0 # raw part, don't edit These drives should appear to be identical. This is the wrong way to inspect your drives. If you did anything to the drives individually (i.e. bypassing gstripe) it's very likely you corrupted some data. I don't know if this is obvious to you so I'm saying it just in case. Inspect your drives with diskinfo -v to get information such as its size. Good to know.

For background fsck to work as it is supposed to, it is necessary that only certain errors can occur on the filesystem. Other types of errors cannot be corrected by a background fsck. To make sure that only the allowable errors can occur it is necessary for soft updates to be used and working as it is supposed to. For soft updates to work as it is supposed to the disk subsystem must provide certain guarantees on when and in which order blocks are written. Normal PATA/SATA disks with write caching enabled (which is the default) do not provide these guarantees. Disabling write caching on will make them adhere to the assumptions that soft updates make, but at the cost of a severe performance penalty when writing to the disks. In short therefore on a 'typical' PC you can fairly easily get errors on a filesystem which background fsck cannot handle. It is also the case that background fsck relies on snapshots to work, At least in the past snapshots had stability problems. Things are supposed to be better these days, but many people have long memories for these kind of problems. -- Insert your favourite quote here.

I don't think that's quite right, fsck -p is only done if background_fsck=NO, otherwise an fsck -pF is done instead. The latter does an fsck -p on filesystems that aren't eligible for background checking - usually root and any none UFS filesystems.

Note that it's returning (int). Use this functionality.
I've come to prefer the *char argv[] ... I didn't use the formal int

3. In case of errors (e. g. incorrect number of parameters)
use fprintf() to stderr, or perror() with the builtin
error handling (e. g. for file not found by fopen()).
4. Use the predefined return codes, don't hardcode them.
FreeBSD has EXiT_SUCCESS and EXIT_FAILURE, they're for
maximum compatibility (such as with Linux). There are
more exit codes for differentiation, but they're specific
to FreeBSD, as far as I know.
This I did not know. I have a prefab include file with a bunch

Yup.

1. Use the tab character for indentation. You can set its
length with your favourite editor (e. g. mcedit: F9,

Ja, been doing this since 1978. Does anybody hit space-key
8 times!?
I've seen corporate guideline for indentation = 10 spaces.
Used ^TD8 and then finally replace tab - ' '. :-)
2. The main() function should be declared as
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
or
int main(int argc, char **argv)
Note that it's returning (int). Use this functionality.
I've come to prefer the *char argv[] ... I didn't use the formal int
return because this was supposed throwaway code. (Going on years now
tho, so ... my-bad.)
The standard assumption of the return code is (int), so if
it's not declared, it's (int) anyway.
4. Use the predefined return codes, don't hardcode them.
FreeBSD has EXiT_SUCCESS and EXIT_FAILURE, they're for
maximum compatibility (such as with Linux). There are
more exit codes for differentiation, but they're specific
to FreeBSD, as far as I know.
This I did not know. I have a prefab include file with a bunch
of my own similar #defines. Wow, great!
FreeBSD defines additional exit codes to specify the reason for
exiting more precisely in /usr/include/sysexits.h - for your
example, exit(EX_USAGE); would be a good exit code.
I don't know how far this is adopted in Linux, but I think you
can only use the C99 two standard return codes.
From man 3 exit:
The C Standard (ISO/IEC 9899:1999 (``ISO C99'')) defines the values 0,
EXIT_SUCCESS, and EXIT_FAILURE as possible values of status.
5. This is highly debatable: Use a good style for { and }.
Well, you're using the KR { }; but for me, the Ingres
style [[ yes, it was invented by someone else ]] gets my vote.
I scan
{
and
}
more easily. 6 of one, half-dozen of another... .
In fact, I'm sticking to the concept that only the highest level
of code groupers deserve a new line {: these are functions in
C and class methods in C++. Everything else has the { appended
(after a space) to the construct that causes the {. So if you find
a }, you only need to look up. It's obvious that a } is caused
by a {, but you want to know the construct that made it appear,
for example if(), while(), a struct definition or something similar.
With this concept at hand, looking up will make you find this
construct in question at the first glance.
You could see this in the example.
But as we'll all agree, this is a thing of individual preference.
Here is the program again, with some stylistic modifications
and the correct (read: recommended, usual) exit code handling:
I'll swipe this. I use this code with openoffice and abiword
because I compose with vi; but I almost always forget to run
my text thru joinlines and have to quit the word processor, run
jlines foo bar; mv bar foo; then restart the word processor.
I figure that I've spend several centuries of my lifetime messing
with jlines, so i'm overdue for doing it right
I think OpenOffice has the function Input - from file (at least
the german version has: Alt-E D = Einfügen Datei). This makes it
easier to incorporate text from an external file.

Re: analyzing httpd-error.log
The problem with Apache's error.log is that there is no standard format. Error messages generated by Apache itself are somewhat standardized, but messages from third-party modules are not. All kind of things will end up in the error.log, including stuff written to stdout by CGI programs, such as perl error messages, exception traces from Python programs (usually multiple lines each), and so on. There is no simple way to reliably parse and analyze all of that completely automatically. Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH Co. KG, Marktplatz 29, 85567 Grafing b. M.

2. The main() function should be declared as
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
or
int main(int argc, char **argv)
Note that it's returning (int). Use this functionality.
I've come to prefer the *char argv[] ... I didn't use the formal int
return because this was supposed throwaway code. (Going on years now
tho, so ... my-bad.)
The standard assumption of the return code is (int), so if
it's not declared, it's (int) anyway.
sure; and the code i've been writing as prefab'd C is
as clean and explicit as i can make it. difft with
throwaway stuff. [ may need to rethink that!]
4. Use the predefined return codes, don't hardcode them.
FreeBSD has EXiT_SUCCESS and EXIT_FAILURE, they're for
maximum compatibility (such as with Linux). There are
more exit codes for differentiation, but they're specific
to FreeBSD, as far as I know.
This I did not know. I have a prefab include file with a bunch
of my own similar #defines. Wow, great!
FreeBSD defines additional exit codes to specify the reason for
exiting more precisely in /usr/include/sysexits.h - for your
example, exit(EX_USAGE); would be a good exit code.
I don't know how far this is adopted in Linux, but I think you
can only use the C99 two standard return codes.
From man 3 exit:
The C Standard (ISO/IEC 9899:1999 (``ISO C99'')) defines the values 0,
EXIT_SUCCESS, and EXIT_FAILURE as possible values of status.
5. This is highly debatable: Use a good style for { and }.
Well, you're using the KR { }; but for me, the Ingres
style [[ yes, it was invented by someone else ]] gets my vote.
I scan
{
and
}
more easily. 6 of one, half-dozen of another... .
In fact, I'm sticking to the concept that only the highest level
of code groupers deserve a new line {: these are functions in
C and class methods in C++. Everything else has the { appended
(after a space) to the construct that causes the {. So if you find
a }, you only need to look up. It's obvious that a } is caused
by a {, but you want to know the construct that made it appear,
for example if(), while(), a struct definition or something similar.
With this concept at hand, looking up will make you find this
construct in question at the first glance.
it really is what you're used to. somehow, several weeks ago, a
function just would not behave, and after close to an hour of
using vi's showmatch, i discovered that i was missing one
closing brace. *mumble*
You could see this in the example.
But as we'll all agree, this is a thing of individual preference.
Here is the program again, with some stylistic modifications
and the correct (read: recommended, usual) exit code handling:
I'll swipe this. I use this code with openoffice and abiword
because I compose with vi; but I almost always forget to run
my text thru joinlines and have to quit the word processor, run
jlines foo bar; mv bar foo; then restart the word processor.
I figure that I've spend several centuries of my lifetime messing
with jlines, so i'm overdue for doing it right
I think OpenOffice has the function Input - from file (at least
the german version has: Alt-E D = Einfügen Datei). This makes it
easier to incorporate text from an external file.
thanks for the datapoint; i'll check. i type virtually all text
in vi just because my fingers know it. (i've been in openoffice
and found myself hitting the escape key or / to search ...
and other vi-isms. :)

going from cvs to svn

I'm not after answers here, I want to read it myself if it's at all possible. Stuff like, can I use my present cvsup-fetched /home/ncvs with svn? I didn't see any way to check out an svn-specific archive in all the stuff I read, like the FreeBSD handbook. Can I use my present set of checkouts, or must I delete them and do new checkouts with svn? Are the URLs for cvsup listed in the handbook still correct (they haven't changed there in years now).

I've It appears that you may be labouring under the assumption that svn is a potential _client_ replacement that will read a CVS repo. It doesn't do this. You can convert a repository using the tools available at: http://cvs2svn.tigris.org/ but afterwards you are using svn exclusively -- there is no ability to mix and match. After the conversion, both client and server tools will change. The primary advantage of using svn is that the _server_ uses a different protocol to track objects.

Stuff like, can I use my present cvsup-fetched /home/ncvs with svn? I didn't No - if you have fetched a directory using cvsup, then it is a CVS workspace, and will remain that way.

ftp with .... ?
Hello guys, Here's the deal: I have a samba server on a FreeBSD 7.1-STABLE running with mod-acl (or whatever it's called). The folder it is connected to (let's call it share) has acl enabled. Thus all data written with samba (from my xp box) automagicly inharits permision of parent folder (root:wheel). Perfect till now. This is were the catch catches up. I also want ftp access to that folder (a master ftp account that only I will know) but also want it with acl features; I mean all files written by/through ftp will (or must) have inherited parent directory permisions, leaving samba full permisions over files/folder in that directory (as stated by acl). Here's the curent setup the share folder (actually /mnt) # file: /mnt/ # owner: root # group: wheel user::rwx user:smbadmin:rwx user:ftpadmin:rwx group::--- mask::rwx other::--- As you can see, the owner is root:wheel. The samba master acount is smbadmin with rwx privileges. Now, I wish to employ another username, also with rwx privileges, for a master ftp account (say ftpadmin), but all files writen by this user *will* eventually end up on disk as root:wheel, not ftpadmin:group. What I've done so far. Read a bit about chmod +s and by chmod g+s managed to ensure that whoever writes files to that folder, end up belonging to wheel group. Didn't manage on the other hand to employ the same thing for the user. Files are owned by ftpadmin Of course I could add these accounts into one big group, but then, were would all the fun be ? :) And also, I would have a terrible time when say another ftp user would be required to have some sort or acces but diferent from that group I previously mentioned (say r--). Now, from what I tinkered about I need some sort of control agent between the actual ftp and the disk (something similar to mod-acl of samba maybe?) or force the files that are to be written to disk to change theyre usr:group by some chmod-similar manner. Please point me in the right direction. A link, an ideea ... something. Am capable of doing it myself, no need for please do this for me..nono.

Are you serious? You set the standard on a given project. You decide
whether you are using spaces or tabs. If spaces, you decide how many
spaces per indent level. You ask the programmers to submit code in that
format. It doesn't jump around randomly from one line to the next.
You are trying to make it sound like a big problem, but it isn't.
And why is this much better?
Just my view based on years of experience. Don't take it too seriously.
When I would compare both indentation forms, I'd say that tabbing
is the better form because
+ you can set your individually preferred tab with using the
settings of your editor, be it 1, 4 or 8,
Why is this flexibility important? The more important thing is to have
consistently indented code. There is no great benefit in letting
different programmers see the code indented to different levels. They
just want to be able to read it.
+ you can change the indentation while you're coding, e. g. when
the indentation level makes the code exceed the right margin
of your editor's window,
So what? How many times have you actually done this in the past year?
Be honest.
+ you need more keypressing to get through the indentation with
the spaces, one keypress per space, while you only need one
keypress per tab (which equals one indentation level),
Not true. You set up your editor settings to automatically do this for
you. Most editors have this capability. On my editor (vim) it only
takes at most one keypress to indent. You still might use the tab key,
or even have the editor automatically format for you based on syntax.
Editors have done this for decades. Your objection is specious.
+ per indentation level only 1 byte is needed (tab = ASCII 9), while
spacing requires more bytes, one per space (space = ASCII 32),
Are you telling me that in an age when most cheap user workstations have
hundreds of gigabytes of disk space, you need this kind of savings?
This is a *very* weak point.
+ while you can convert tabs into spaces, you cannot easily convert
spaces back into tabs, and finally
Not true. It is extremely easy to convert both directions. The unix
'expand' command converts one direction, and 'unexpand' goes the reverse
direction. These unix utilities have been around as long as 'cat' and 'ls'.
Moreover the whole point is moot anyway. There are lots of high quality
code formatters available. One called 'Artistic Style' is well known
and very capable. On a lot of projects these days, people get sick of
these kinds of arguments and just run all the code they receive through
a code formatter like astyle. It lets you set all kinds of options such
as brace placement, spacing between parameters, indentation method, and
so on. If asking people to change their editor settings doesn't work,
this thing fixes it up.
+ even FreeBSD uses the tabbing style.
And therefore if I submit code for FreeBSD then I will use that format.
However I wouldn't recommend it for other projects where that decision
has not been established.
I'm aware that one can argue about where { is to be placed, but
I don't see any valid reason to use spaces for indentation instead
of tabs (which I would even call standard).
It's a honest question: What are your arguments for using tabs?
Hint: it is *much* better doesn't count. :-)
There are lots of cases where it's hard to make code line up the way you
want it with tabs. Often code that looks good with one tab length
setting (say 8) doesn't look so good with another (say 4). It gets
especially bad when there are a few space characters thrown in, which
people often do.

TFC Depending on what versions of things you use the nvidia-driver port and /usr/ports/x11-drivers/xf86-video-nouveau may be replacements for the nv driver. Honestly I'm not really sure what the xf86-video-chips port does, but I don't think it's related to nvidia and is perhaps for older video chipsets. x11/nvidia-driver is the driver released by nvidia. It doesn't work on architectures other than i386 and has some other limitations (breaks certain components of KDE4, for one other thing - see the 'black windows bug'.) It does support 3d acceleration using the nvidia GPU, though. I've got an nVidia at work (nvidia0: GeForce 7300 GS) with the above port installed, with kde4. No problems. Been running for a couple weeks. When was this bug announced? The x11-drivers/xf86-video-nv port is the open source Xorg driver for nvidia chipsets. It doesn't support 3d acceleration using the GPU. Neither is a perfect solution, and the disparity has been an issue for years now... - mdh ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I'm trying to hunt down a web page that might give a set of rules to help moving things. I've It appears that you may be labouring under the assumption that svn is a potential _client_ replacement that will read a CVS repo. I wasn't laboring under a misapprehension, I asked if they were compatible, I wasn't trying to say they were. Thanks, though, for the URL, I wasn't aware of cvs2svn. It doesn't do this. You can convert a repository using the tools available at: http://cvs2svn.tigris.org/ but afterwards you are using svn exclusively -- there is no ability to mix and match. After the conversion, both client and server tools will change. The primary advantage of using svn is that the _server_ uses a different protocol to track objects. I think that's unclear, you can't mean that just having the protocol be different, that's not that much of a win. Having svn track extra things, like directories, that I'd think was a win. Directory management, for instance, is a track-able change, as opposed to the CVS strategy of directory management through side effect. I'd have said, for cvs, more like directory non-management. Was nice to simply fix things, if you didn't have worry about others helping you out, but keeping history could be a lot more of a problem. Not impossible, but difficult. I used to be a company's release engineer, under cvs, but never svn. I just don't know svn a fraction as well as I know cvs. What I don't know is, I use cvsup all the time, but when I switch to svn, what does the cvsup job of tracking an archive (not tracking the sources, I mean the archive)? Does svn do it all itself? If so, I can find out how, I just want to know if that's how its done. If not, what's the general tool used to track the freebsd archive, so I can investigate it? Stuff like, can I use my present cvsup-fetched /home/ncvs with svn? I didn't No - if you have fetched a directory using cvsup, then it is a CVS workspace, and will remain that way. If the server managing a repo is using CVS, you will use a CVS client to access it If you are managing a repo you wish to convert to svn, then the link above will help you do it. At the time of such a conversion, all currently-checked-out CVS workspaces will be orphaned.

That's right, you haven't been able able to install mod_php5 from a

APACHE_MODULE pulls in apache as dep, while CGI and CLI do not. There is not
much difference in performance with the CGI version and mod_fcgid, the major
