Hi Bob,
I have no idea how that happened. I think there was a glitch or
operator error in pine's gpg filters.  Thanks for replying again. I
got to thinking, after reading some of the stuff in the cvs & stable
mailing list, that there could be just a messup in the make code.  I
pulled the entire src tree along with docs, ports, & www again. This
time, it all makes fine. But, regardless of where I put the files as
in

cd /usr
cvs -d /usr/local/ncvs co www

and the subdir www is created & all the files for www are put there,
when I do a make install, it still insists on putting the files in
root's dir, & I just don't have enough room on that partition.  I
even did a cd into /usr/www/en & did make install.  It still
insisted on installing all the translations, not just english, & of
course, all of it into /root.

Is there any particular reason why you are trying to build the web
site?

More importantly, why do you have to build the web site as root?

The files are installed in ${DESTDIR}, which defaults to the
${HOME}/public_html/ directory of the user running the build.

% orion:/d/www/share/mk$ grep DESTDIR *
% web.site.mk:DESTDIR?=   ${HOME}/public_html
% web.site.mk:WEBCHECKINSTALLDIR?= ${DESTDIR}${WEBCHECKDIR}
% web.site.mk:DOCINSTALLDIR=      ${DESTDIR}${WEBBASE}/${WEBDIR}
% web.site.mk:CGIINSTALLDIR=      ${DESTDIR}${WEBBASE}/${CGIDIR}
% web.site.mk:# NOTE: webcheck's output always stored to ${DESTDIR}/webcheck 
directory.
% orion:/d/www/share/mk$

This is not a CVS problem ;-)

Okay, I appreciate that. I'm not a gambler, but I
would've given odds it wasn't cvs's fault. :-) I
knew I wasn't understanding how to do it. I want
it here local for me & the others here. I didn't
think about not having to be root to install it.
That helps a lot, since there's a lot more room
on /home. Also, I read somewhere that I could
create a group, ncvs, add a user to it, & then
I guess I could do like you said. I.E., logon as
that user, have a directory below /usr/local/ncvs,
& do the make install in that directory, as there
is even more room on /usr. Correct me on that last
assumption if I'm wrong. If not, no need for reply.
I've bugged everyone enough already with this. :)
Thanks again.
Denny White
