Don't slander youself. I think 'hard-headed' person will never admit
that he doesn't know something. You are trying to do something so you
are self motivated person.
As to the "www problem", I'll check it on my box and write you any
suggestion if i'll be able to.

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 ${DESTDIR}/webcheck
directory.
% orion:/d/www/share/mk$
Okay, I appreciate that. I'm not a gambler, but I would've given
odds it wasn't cvs's fault. :-)
Right. Sorry for not replying earlier, but I didn't quite understand what
exactly you were trying to do and what the problem was.
The /doc and /www areas of the FreeBSD CVS repository are a responsibility
of the FreeBSD documentation guys. In the future, it may be a good idea to
ask questions about these specific parts of the CVS tree by posting to the
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> mailing list :-)
I knew I wasn't understanding how to do it. I want it here local for me &
the others here.
To have a complete /www mirror you need other stuff too and you may have
to tweak a bit the build process to avoid redirecting everyone to the
central www.FreeBSD.org every time they hit, for instance, a manpage link.
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.
Adding an 'ncvs' user/group is only required if you like checking out of
the repository without the -R flag of cvs(1). Note, however, that it's
not something mandatory.
Redirecting the installed files somewhere where you have a lot of free disk
space is ok and it doesn't require the 'ncvs' user or group. Just set
DESTDIR (and possibly other environment variables that affect web.site.mk)
to point to the right place:
% cd /tmp
% cvs -q co -P -l www # Note -l here...
% cvs -q up -Pd www/en www/share www/tools
% cd www/en
% make DESTDIR=/usr/web/freebsd all install
Correct me on that last assumption if I'm wrong.
If not, no need for reply.
I've bugged everyone enough already with this. :)
Nah, no problem. This is what the list is for, anyway.
Okay, I used the -R switch & pulled www into my home dir.
Then I read through the Makefile,v & saw it said:
don't build the non-english directories if the variable
ENGLISH_ONLY=YES is set
I tried that. From within /home/mydir/www I did a
make -D ENGLISH_ONLY=YES install | tee -a output.txt
and it failed so fast, nothing was even captured to
the output file. I scrolled back & found:
"/home/dennyboy/www/en/../share/mk/web.site.mk", line 135:
/home/dennyboy/www/en/../../doc/share/mk/doc.common.mk not found.
Define $WITHOUT_DOC and $WEB_ONLY for performing a partial build
without the doc/ module.
*** Error code 1
So, it's not a major deal if I install all the translations
just to be able to have the english part. Plenty of space
on /home. Just seems illogical if there's a work-around,
which I'm sure, if I understood more about make, I could
probably do. If no one wants to fool with this anymore,
I understand. :) Earlier I tried hacking around on the
makefiles on $DESTDIR to no avail. Just wanted folks to
know I wasn't one of those who say "I can't fix it. Fix
it for me"! :) I've tried for 3 days now, whenever I've
had time.
Okay, started this post earlier. Since then, I pulled www
again into my home dir, read-only mode. Went in as root & did:
make -D WITHOUT_DOC -D WEB_ONLY DESTDIR=/home/dennyboy install
Shame, because that pretty much defeats a lot of the purpose
of doing it, that is, without a lot of the docs. Be that as
it may, it finally got put in to one degree or another. Two
of you have been trying to help me & I included what I hope
are the latest posts from both of you. Thanks so much for
the help & patience. I haven't totally given up on this. If
anyone has any more ideas, I'll be happy to try them. Maybe
I should've just gone ahead & went through all it takes to
make a mirror. :-)
