Hello Marc,
Thanks for that pointer, explains some, then again raises other
questions for me.
Namely, (not complaining here) why would a new dir be created with
nothing in it, and included in cvs? At the moment, (after trying 3
geographically different cvsup servers) this inclusion breaks my ability
to run "make clean" in /usr/ports big time.
Nice to know what's happened (funny, I *am* subscribed to ports@freebsd)
finally, that e-mail must have slipped me.
Cheers for that info.
Stacey
