stable/9 is the SVN equivalent of RELENG_9
src only, understood now. Thanks, Matthew.
Yes. There is never any branching in the ports tree. The latest (i.e.,
head) version is, at any given time, expected to work for all (then)
supported versions of the base system.
This is not a change -- this has always been the case, and the current
(cvsup-centric) text in the Handbook describes it explicitly.
same as nbsd, then. I probably need to read fbsd handbook again
It turns out that mergemaster would have been alright in my case, due
to .mergemasterrc, I can not recall why this was selected, comments
are welcomed:
# cat .mergemasterrc
FREEBSD_ID=YES
Equivalent to -F.
VERBOSE=YES
AUTO_INSTALL=YES
RUN_UPDATES=YES
COMP_CONFS=YES
PRESERVE_FILES_DIR=/var/tmp/mergemaster/preserved-files-`date +%y%m%d-%H%M%S`
DELETE_STALE_RC_FILES=YES
A reasonable set of defaults, although I prefer a little more human
interaction on major changes. Why it "would have been alright(sic)" in
your case isn't clear, because you don't describe the alternative, but
the manual for mergemaster(8) almost certainly has the answer.
Hopefully not to have bored you too much, Matthew's mention of -F with
mergemaster solved this problem of conversion from csup to svn- yet as you
saw it was already in my .mergemasterrc , that is why I wrote that it
"would have been alright".
I like human interaction in every case where it is beneficial. If you
want to send some guidance, it is welcomed. Other than that, I will let
it be and also study the manual again; i.e. man 8 mergemaster.
Kind regards,
Darrel
