Hello all.
I have FreeBSD 5.4-RC1 installed from FTP. Today I ran cvsup to get the latest RELENG_5_4 src-all. I've seen two strange files were checkouted by cvsup:
Checkout src/installworld_newk Checkout src/installworld_oldk
I don't see those files on http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/?only_with_tag=RELENG_5_4 but I see them on http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/Attic/ According to the cvsweb logs those files were removed in HEAD but still exist in RELENG_5_4. But why I don't see them on the cvsweb by the first URL and why they didn't exist in my 5.4-RC1 before cvsup? Or, if they were removed in the RELENG_5_4 too, why cvsup checkouted them today?
*sigh* The files were removed from HEAD but still exist in RELENG_5 and children (like RELENG_5_4). What you are experiencing is a limitation of CVSweb: files in the Attic are not handled well (the newest release, 3.0.5, doesn't do this correctly either). I recently started working on CVSweb and this is one of the things on my TODO list.
I'm not sure why the 5.4-RC1 src didn't include them; perhaps files are excluded from the src depending on which arch the release is targeting? These particular files are only used for sparc64.
