The structure NetBSD have adopted for vendor code is to have (for example) src/usr.sbin/ipf and for the Makefiles to reference the vendor code in src/dist/ipfilter.

Because we put all other vendor code in contrib/ by convention. When there is vendor code in other places it usually results in confusion. For bits that have userland and kernel bits we use head/contrib and head/sys/contrib pulling from vendor/foo and vendor-sys/foo, respectively. Also, this is not the first import as we used a CVS vendor branch for IP filter previously that svn2cvs preserved. Cy, for your svn merge you said you would do this: cd $MY_WORK_DIR/current/contrib/ipfilter svn merge --record-only \ svn+ssh://svn.FreeBSD.org/base/vendor/ipfilter/dist@NNN cd $MY_WORK_DIR/current/sys/contrib/ipfilter svn merge --record-only \ svn+ssh://svn.FreeBSD.org/base/vendor-sys/ipfilter/dist@NNN but instead you did this: slippy$ cd $MY_WORK_DIR/current/contrib/ipfilter slippy$ svn merge --record-only file:///tank/wrepos/wsvn/base/vendor/ipfilte r/dist@252548 Notice you are using 'file:///tank/', not the official SVN repository. All your checkouts and merges should be done using svn.FreeBSD.org, not a local mirror. That might explain your merge problem. Also, if you are just updating the existing vendor branch and not updating it to a newer version I'm not sure you really need the @NN part for the bootstrap merge, but it probably doesn't hurt. -- John Baldwin ___ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Ipfilter pre-Vendor Import Issue
Hi, Originally this email was a here is how I'm planning on doing it kind of email but now that svn 1.8 broke the third step I need some help. I've been getting the flattening of the ipfilter vendor branch right and working on the importation of ipfilter 5.1.2 into my own test SVN repo. (Now that we have Darren Reed's permission to use the previous license, I will import 5.1.2). I've prepared the tree by flattening the layout as discussed in 5.3.1 of the developers handbook. It worked until I upgraded my SVN port from 1.7.2 to 1.8. Here are the steps I took and the results of the last failing step. I will also discuss what I believe should be the solution. Given I'm not an SVN expert I need some advice and help. To flatten the ipfilter vendor branch I did the following. This worked before using svn 1.7.2 and continues to work using 1.8. cd $MY_WORK_DIR/vendor/ipfilter for I in */contrib/ipfilter; do ( cd $I svn mv $(svn list) ../.. cd ../.. svn rm contrib svn propdel -R svn:mergeinfo ) done cd $MY_WORK_DIR/vendor-sys/ipfilter for I in */sys/contrib/ipfilter; do ( cd $I svn mv $(svn list) ../../.. cd ../../.. svn rm sys svn propdel -R svn:mergeinfo ) done cd $MY_WORK_DIR svn ci vendor/ipfilter vendor-sys/ipfilter The second step is to turn off keyword expansion as recommended by the developers guide. This worked before under 1.7.2 and continues to work under svn 1.8. cd $MY_WORK_DIR/vendor/ipfilter svn propdel svn:keywords -R . cd $MY_WORK_DIR/vendor-sys/ipfilter svn propdel svn:keywords -R . cd $MY_WORK_DIR svn ci vendor/ipfilter vendor-sys/ipfilter It's the last step of the flattening process discussed in the developers guide that worked under svn 1.7.2 but does not work under svn 1.8. What I planned on doing was this: cd $MY_WORK_DIR/current/contrib/ipfilter svn merge --record-only \ svn+ssh://svn.FreeBSD.org/base/vendor/ipfilter/dist@NNN cd $MY_WORK_DIR/current/sys/contrib/ipfilter svn merge --record-only \ svn+ssh://svn.FreeBSD.org/base/vendor-sys/ipfilter/dist@NNN (Don't worry about the NNN, I will fill that in with the appropriate rev.) Unfortunately it doesn't work any more. Here is what svn spit out at me. slippy$ cd $MY_WORK_DIR/current/contrib/ipfilter slippy$ svn merge --record-only file:///tank/wrepos/wsvn/base/vendor/ipfilte r/dist@252548 svn: E205000: Try 'svn help merge' for more information svn: E205000: Source and target must be different but related branches svn: E205000: Source and target have no common ancestor: 'file:///tank/wrepos/wsvn/base/vendor/ipfilter/dist@252548' and '.@unspecified' slippy$ My solution is, for I in `find . -type f`; do svn merge --record-only -r 1:HEAD file:///tank/wrepos/wsvn/base/vendor/ipfilter/dist/$I@252548; done (r252548 is the revision where I turned off keyword expansion for the flattened ipfilter vendor trees.) I'm not a subversion expert so my question is, am I going down the right path here? Or, is there a better way to address the error above? Once I address this I will be able to import the new ipfilter into the vendor and vendor-sys branches (which I managed to get to under svn 1.7.2). To answer the obvious question, I've done svn upgrade and when that didn't help I subsequently used a fresh checkout from my local test SVN repo, so this is not an issue. Any and all help would be appreciated.
