Checking out ports using CVS

2003-08-01 Thread Alexander Farber 
Hi,

as user alex:wheel I try the following commands

cd /usr
sudo mkdir ports
sudo chmod g+w ports
cvs -z3 -d $CVSROOT co -rRELENG_5_1 -P ports |  tee ~/ports.txt

Then I see the various ports sub-directories being checked out
and they aren't empty. But at the very end I see the message:

cvs server: Updating ports/x11-wm/xfce4-wm
cvs server: Updating ports/x11-wm/xfwm4
cvs server: Updating ports/x11-wm/xwmm
cvs server: Updating ports/x11-wm/xwmm/files
cvs server: Updating ports/x11-wm/yawm

cvs checkout: cannot remove ports: Permission denied

and the /usr/ports/ is suddenly empty -

newhope:usr {221} ll ports/
total 2
drwxr-xr-x  2 alex  wheel  512 Aug  1 17:07 CVS

Does anybody know, what am I doing wrong here?

Regards
Alex

   ^^ 

There's no such tag available in the ports bit of the CVS tree.  You
can use

RELENG_5_1_0

to get exactly what went onto the 5.1 CDs, but in general with ports
you just need to checkout HEAD.

Cheers,

Matthew
