My guess is that you missed the bit in the FAQ about using the -d and -P options when doing cvs updates and thus have no /usr/src/etc/signify/ directory. Philip Guenther

As long as you have all the install sets in place, you can easily run sysmerge on a system with no source tree installed. For quite a while now I've tended to run something like this on boxes I upgrade, from the directory with the updated sets: $ sudo sysmerge -s etcNM.tgz -x xetcNM.tgz where 'NM' would have been '55' for the last few weeks on boxes running snapshots. - Peter -- Peter N.

My guess is that you missed the bit in the FAQ about using the -d and -P options when doing cvs updates and thus have no /usr/src/etc/signify/ directory. I'm still missing it, apparently. Then you ran the wrong cvs command. I would give a more precise response, but you included no information about what commands you've used. No signify in 'following current'. It doesn't require additional action beyond sysmerge with a correct cvs tree or a snapshot, so why would it be included there? Philip Guenther
