cvsup question

2011-12-07 Thread Коньков Евгений
Hi

cvsup -g -L 2 /usr/local/etc/cvsup/cvsup-ports.conf
I have next conf for cvsup
cat cvsup-ports.conf
*default host=cvsup6.jp.FreeBSD.org
*default base=/var/db
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs date=2008.10.15.00.00.00
*default delete use-rel-suffix
*default compress
ports-databases date=2008.10.15.00.00.00


But when I update I see 'edits' on 2011 year despite on I notice to
use 2008 year
 Edit ports/databases/zodb3/pkg-plist
  Add delta 1.13 2011.11.21.07.12.23 wen
  Add delta 1.12 2011.02.14.01.08.24 wen
  Add delta 1.11 2011.02.13.01.39.46 wen
  Add delta 1.10 2010.10.12.13.38.46 wen


How that can be?

CVSup question

2007-12-11 Thread Simon Gao
Hi,

I wonder if just having port-all is enough in cvsupfile as follow. If I
just want to keep ports tree up to date, do I really need to have
'src-all?


*default host=cvsup9.freebsd.org
*default base=/usr
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4_11
*default delete use-rel-suffix compress
# src-all
ports-all tag=.

thanks,

Simon

Hopefullly!

I have been told in the past that I can skip the mergemaster steps.

Considering I am just going from 6.1 to 6.2 is this still true?

I have always found the mergemaster process confusing.

IF you do not update the files under /etc then you run a very real risk
of things breaking in strange ways.  Mergemaster is very useful tool for
updating those files.

Updating: yes, but I never managed to merge two files successfully and
always end up making the modifications manually.

cvsup question

2007-06-24 Thread Jim Stapleton

I've had this answered before, but for some reason, I can't seem to
get it working.

I am having problems with something in WINE and I want to see if it's
the version of WINE, thus I'd *like* to reinstall WINE 0.9.39 and put
0.9.36 back. I have my supfile set to 2007.06.15... and use these
commands:

sudo csup -i 'emulators/wine' -L 2 /etc/supfile-ports
sudo csup -i '*ulators/win*' -L 2 /etc/supfile-ports
sudo csup -i 'emulators/wine' -L 2 /etc/supfile-ports


But I don't see the standard patch applications I would see when
something is updating with any of them.

What am I doing wrong?

You got the right answer the first time.  You will get the appropriate
ports tree (updated) with the . tag.  If you use any other tag, you will
destroy your ports tree.

Hi,

In an effort to update my ports collection, I ran CVSup, with the line

After the update finished, I noticed that some of my ports that were there

I'd appreciate being pointed in the right direction for the solution to my

cvsup question - use just one supfile?

2006-02-12 Thread Joel Hatton
Hi,

I've been sup'ing a few different trees for a little while now, and I'm
wondering: is it possible to do all at once with the same supfile?
Something like:

*default host=CHANGE_THIS.FreeBSD.org
*default base=/var/db
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_5_3
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_5_4
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_6
*default delete use-rel-suffix

this can't be the correct syntax, but is this practicable?

thanks,

You need a different prefix for each tag.  You'll still want to set 
your defaults, then override them as necessary, like this:


src-all prefix=/foo tag=RELENG_5
src-all prefix=/bar tag=RELENG_6

Not without modifying the source code to cvsup.

What I recommend you do is add the '-1' flag to your cvsup command line
-- so cvsup will try once to pull down the updates and then exit.  Then
you can use a trivial bit of shell scripting to try again if the first
attempt failed, although you should try to cvsup from a different server
if you need to retry.

eg.

   #!/bin/sh

   CVSUP=/usr/local/bin/cvsup

cvsup question

2004-07-23 Thread Steve
am doing cvsup for the first time, and got the hang of it, but have one
questions for those who used it.

is it advisable to do src-all, or should i only do ports-all
also is this configuration decent, in your opinion

*default host=cvsup5.FreeBSD.org
*default tag=.
*default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs delete use-rel-suffix compress

Depends on whether you want to update the OS as
well as the 3rd party software (ports).
also is this configuration decent, in your opinion
*default host=cvsup5.FreeBSD.org
*default tag=.
*default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs delete use-rel-suffix compress

#src-all (pending feedback)
 

Hmm, never used seperate tags in the same
SUPfile, but I guess that cvsup is smart enough
to do that, considering what it does do.
For a discussion of the release tags, see the Cutting
Edge chapter in the FreeBSD handbook[1].
Please do note that you most likely *want* to
use tag=. for ports, but *not for source*.  You
probably want the latest releases of ports, but
it's not nearly so likely you want to be running
HEAD/CURRENT on your system

[1]For 4-STABLE, for example, your cvsup app should
be looking for src files tagged RELENG_4.

Hi Steve,

Your supfile line that has  *default tag=.  is going to download source code 
for current when you uncomment the  #src-all  line. If you're intending to 
follow current, that's fine. But, if you're going for 4.10 or 5.2.1, then you 
need a different default tag line. Until you go through the makeworld 
sequence, it won't bite you, on second thought, it probably will. Below is 
the supfile that I use:
*default tag=RELENG_5_2
*default host=cvsup15.FreeBSD.org
*default prefix=/usr
*default base=/usr
*default release=cvs
*default delete use-rel-suffix
#src-all
ports-all tag=.
#doc-all

I would suggest using sysutils/fastest_cvsup. You can either do a pkg_add -r, 
or build it from the ports.

If you just installed FreeBSD, I would do a src-all to get all the latest 
patches, and after that to get new patches  Other than that, you're just 
using bandwidth. There are more changes going on in the ports, so you would 
be upgrading there the most. Be sure to read usr/src/UPGRADING and 
usr/ports/UPGRADING.

CVSUP question

2004-03-11 Thread Darryl Hoar
Greetings,
I installed 5.1-release on a box.  I installed cvsup from ports.
I then copied /usr/src/share/examples/cvsup/stable-sup /etc.

I changed the file to point to a CVS server near me.  The notes
I was reading were specific to Freebsd 4.6.  Since I had 
5.1 installed I guessed I needed to choose RELENG_5 to
track 5.1 stable.  I then added the following lines to the
bottom of the file:

ports-www tag=.
ports-net tag=.
ports-security tag=.
ports-sysutils tag=.

I then did a cvsup /etc/stable-supfile.  The system trundled away,
showing on the screen file deletions, etc.

When it finished (without any errors, and telling me it was sucessful),
I tried to cd /usr/src.  The directory was gone.  Hmm So,
I modified the stable-sup file to use RELENG_5_1.   Then did a 
cvsup /etc/stable-supfile.  But once it connected to the cvsup server,
it just hung.

If I want to track 5.1-stable, what should I use ?

thanks,
Darryl

CVSup question, which tag for 4.9-RELEASE?

2004-02-12 Thread Bob Collins
I am running a few boxes(n) on 4.9-RELEASE and am wondering about
updating the ports and source. Using CVSup, should I tag src with
RELENG_4, or RELENG_4_9? And what if any are the differences, that
are not already noted in the handbook? Up to this point, I have not
updated the system since install

I think I have a rather good grasp of the topic, but there is a little
confusion on my part. I am thinking if I read correctly, using RELENG_4
will update to the latest in the 4.x branch and I'll be at 4.9-Current,
no? And RELENG_4_9 will be only updates to the 4.9 branch?

Thanks for the clarification.

For your system, use RELENG_4_9; tag=RELENG_4_9; this will keep you up to date
with the security fixes.
For the ports, always use CURRENT; tag=.

No.  No such thing as 4.9-CURRENT.  RELENG_4 will update to 4-STABLE,
which means it includes whatever updates have been made to -STABLE since
the 4.9-RELEASE snapshot (4.x-RELEASE being a snapshot of 4-STABLE).

 And RELENG_4_9 will be only updates to the 4.9 branch?

4.9 isn't a branch itself, it's a snapshot of the -STABLE branch. 
RELENG_4_9 contains only critical updates from the 4.9-RELEASE snapshot,
primarily if not exclusively security updates.

cvsup question

2002-12-18 Thread Daniel Schrock
This is more of a minor annoyance, but I can't seem to fix it.
I'm tired of portsdb -Uu spitting out errors regarding not finding 
japanese ports.

I initially had all of the non-english ports in my refuse file, since i 
have zero use for them, but i've removed these entries with the thinking 
that 'I have ample space and it doesn't hurt for them to be there if i 
can quiet the output of portsdb -Uu'

but using 'ports-all' in my ports-supfile isn't grabbing the japanese, 
or any other language  for that matter (except portuguese and hungarian).

Like I said, this is more of a minor annoyance, but if anyone knows a 
fix, that would be great.

thanks.

Try 

cd /usr/ports
make index
portsdb -u 

I have incorporated this sequence in my uports script because of the 
many error message. You also get the full list when you use make 
index. Make will die at the first port that is missing and so you 
can't have ports in your refuse file. BTW, if you do this everytime, 
you might as well add ports/INDEX to your ports-all refuse file. 
There isn't any reason to re-transfer a 3.05 MB file when you are going 
to create it as soon as you finish cvsuping.

cvsup isn't going to be very good at tracking which files have been
deleted on the original, unless you are pulling from a cvs repository
(that's where it keeps information on directory contents).  Otherwise,
it won't know whether a file has been deleted from the original
machine, or is a local modification on the duplicate.

Given that you're not using cvs, you'd probably do better with rsync
for this job.  You could also use other tools that can keep metadata,
like dump(8) or even use the incremental facilities of Gnu tar.

This is not accurate, as the cvsup CLIENT keeps directory information for
the repository.  When the client is run, if a file has been added on the
server, it will download it.

If a file has changed on the server, it will use the rsync algorithm to
synchronize the files.

If the client is set to delete files, it will also delete any files that
it has and which the server does not.

I know because I use it at work to synchronize tens of thousands of
images. Rsync works, but it does not scale very well.  I had to use cvsupd
and cvsup because the memory usage of rsync would grow past 512 MB and it
would eventually core dump.

Silly cvsup question.

2002-12-07 Thread mike
Hello. i use cvsup to backup certain critical folders on the machine labs,
to the machine labs2 automatically every night. My question is this. If i
add new stuff to say, /home/mike (or wherever) then that gets mirrored at
night and everything does its job as i want it to. However, if i DELETE
something from /home/mike (or whereever) It never gets deleted from labs2.
So its not synching correctly. For example i just went to zip -r
cvsup-backup cvsup-backup on labs2, so i can pull it to XP and burn it,
and i realized it had my library still in there which i deleted months
ago. Any help on this is appreciated, and no need to CC me, as my website
mirrors your archives and they will soon span across multiple pages as
well as be searchable.

I do not know how to do it using cvsup, but if you use a simple 
cvs-repository, it will work fine if you do a cvs up on your backup 
machine (regular check in preconditioned). But if you use cvs, it may 
have much more sense to backup the entire repository, because you have 
all made changes available after a restore.

CVSUP Question

2002-09-17 Thread Anthony Abby

What port does CVSUP use when syncing up?  I'm behind a firewall and can not get CVSUP 
to work from my system at work, but it works just fine at home.  I'm wondering if it's 
a blocked port.  If that's the case is it possible to get it to use a different port?

Anthony
