I've been running 6.3 since it was released and never noticed I had extracted (by my script) right into /usr. Guess I haven't needed to look at X source since April...

anoncvs instructions
https://www.openbsd.org/anoncvs.html The following instructions state to unpack the Xenocara sources in /usr, but should be done instead from the /usr/xenocara directory as the preceding directory for contents is ./ (whereas ports.tar.gz unpacks into ports/)? The following commands assume you have followed these instructions to give a non-root user write access to the src, ports and xenocara directories. $ cd /usr/src $ tar xzf /tmp/src.tar.gz $ tar xzf /tmp/sys.tar.gz $ cd /usr $ tar xzf /tmp/ports.tar.gz $ tar xzf /tmp/xenocara.tar.gz -- Darren Spruell phatbuck...@gmail.com
Question about AnonCVS Instructions
What is the difference between these two cvs commands? I know what the first one does... checks out the source code to stable and assumes a CVSROOT is around... but is the second command not the same? I understand all the options... except for 'get'... how is that different from checkout? cvs checkout -P -rOPENBSD_4_2 src cvs -qd [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs get -rOPENBSD_4_2 -P src Also, if one has the source tar files, neither of those commands are needed, right? Won't this alone do (assuming the tar files have been extracted to the appropriate areas): # Do this for /usr/src /usr/ports and /usr/src/xenocara cvs -q up -rOPENBSD_4_2 -Pd OpenBSD docs are rather good, but IMO, http://openbsd.org/anoncvs.html; could be simplified somewhat. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Question-about-AnonCVS-Instructions-tf4886332.html#a13985918 Sent from the openbsd user - misc mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

I understand all the options... except for 'get'... how is that different from checkout? CVS has a lot of redundant commands. See man cvs: checkout [options] modules... Requires: repository. Changes: working directory. Synonyms: co, get cvs checkout -P -rOPENBSD_4_2 src cvs -qd [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs get -rOPENBSD_4_2 -P src and since the second one does NOT assume anything about CVSROOT, it is potentially very different. the -q is of marginal value in a checkout, but in a up, it eliminates massive amounts of chatter. On the other hand, if you have a slow link, maybe you want to know that it is still working. Also, if one has the source tar files, neither of those commands are needed, right? Won't this alone do (assuming the tar files have been extracted to the appropriate areas): # Do this for /usr/src /usr/ports and /usr/src/xenocara cvs -q up -rOPENBSD_4_2 -Pd you really want a -d in there. Pretty much mandatory if you are using the source tar files. OpenBSD docs are rather good, but IMO, http://openbsd.org/anoncvs.html; could be simplified somewhat. try http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq5.html instead. (yeah, there's some redundancy that should be eliminated). Nick.
