Greetings, I've _finally_ managed to get a break in my work schedule that coincides with a period where pointyhat isn't barfing on my ARCH. So I was able to (cv)sup src && ports. Update the kernel successfully, and (after hours of work), managed to upgrade ports. But as (cv)sup was discontinued ~3 months ago, the ports aren't well synced, and I'm now working on a fairly wobbly system. I'm on RELENG_8 (8.4), and would like to sync my src && ports via the (now defacto) subversion method. My previous experience is with the client meerly for the sake of obtaining the src, and building -- _not_ maintaining a tree. I've read what little is available in the handbook, and much of the Subversion book. But there are clearly different procedures/nuances where FreeBSD maintenance is concerned, both in the building of Subversion, and it's usage, where FreeBSD is concerned. The biggest questions in this regard, is; 1) what to do with my current INDEX-8 && INDEX-8.db files? 2) what of the "distfiles" directory Do I simply copy them over, and "check them in"? Surely I'm not the only one that still has questions in this regard.
Thank you for all your time, and consideration. --chris _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
