requesting some info on CVSUP (some is help related, others are your own personal preferences)
I'll just go based on the lines in the SUPFILE of interest: 1) *default base=/var/db Does anyone use anything else? Why (I mean beyond "my database isn't in /var/db", Why isn't it there)? 2) *default prefix=/usr Anyone have their ports prefix someplace other than /usr? Again why is it elsewhere? 3) *default release=cvs tag=. OK, what other options are there for release/tag, and where can I find them? For tag, I know of RELENG_#, and I suspect there is also CURRENT_# and STABLE_#, is there any other, such as RELENG_#_#, etc? Any release other than "CVS" 4) *default delete use-rel-suffix I'm somewhat being a lazy bastard here, I know there's more about this in the man page, there's delete, use-rel-suffix, and a couple of other mentioned, but could I get a better explanation than there is there? Thanks, I mentioned the need for a GUI tool to make ports/cvsup more easy for the "noob", and since I need to get some java experience to make myself look good for prospective employers, I'm going to try it. Don't worry, I plan to make a clone in a better language when I'm done.

You can use either tag= or date= date= is useful if you know a specific port worked on a certain day and was broken afterwards, or if you're rolling out several machines over a period of time and want to ensure they all have the same ports tree for consistency sake. tag=. means "latest". The ports tree doesn't have other tags. The source tree has RELENG tags, and tag=. is head (again: latest).

OK, thanks. I knew about the date part, but as I could simply do three drop downs (month, day, year), date isn't too difficult. -Jim On 6/30/06, Bill Moran <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: "Jim Stapleton" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > 3) *default release=cvs tag=. > OK, what other options are there for release/tag, and where can I find them? > > For tag, I know of RELENG_#, and I suspect there is also CURRENT_# and > STABLE_#, is there any other, such as RELENG_#_#, etc?

Why (I mean beyond "my database isn't > in /var/db", Why isn't it there)? base is the place for cvsup to store its files in sup directory. I have set it to /misc. > 2) *default prefix=/usr > > Anyone have their ports prefix someplace other than /usr? Again why is > it elsewhere? Sure, it in /misc, which has much more free space than /usr which has space only for the base system files (plus some room to cope with the growth). - Parv -- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
