If one uses an incorrect tag in cvsup, it tends to
destroy the /usr/src tree, a sort of make zapworld. Would there
be anything wrong with backing up the /usr/src directory to a tar
file before running cvsup so that if the worst happens, one can
restore the directory to what it was before the mishap?
I am building a new FreeBSD system from a CDROM that is a
bit out of date so I need to upgrade it after installation.
The only thing I was thinking of was that there might be
links or something else not obvious that would make the restored
/usr/src useless.
