When reading this, I was immediately reminded of this passage from development(7), describing how to set up a local cvs repository for src/ports...: ... you need to set up a ~/.cvsrc (/root/.cvsrc) file, as shown below, for proper cvs(1) operation. Using ~/.cvsrc to specify cvs(1) defaults is an excellent way to ``file and forget'', but you should never forget that you put them in there. # cvs -q diff -u update -Pd checkout -P Cheers Tom ___ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
