The sequence in which I update the various components on systems:
* buildworld
* buildkernel (including kernel mods from ports)
* installkernel (including kernel mods from ports)
* mergemaster -p
* installworld
* mergemaster
* delete-old
* reboot
* delete any unwanted ports that are installed
* update all installed ports
* delete-old-libs
* add any ports not installed, but wanted
* reboot

I do this daily on a couple of machines; only weekly on others.  I
rarely have problems caused by the process.  (Note caveat, there. :-})

Peace,
david

Yes, that fixed it.  I really don't know much about the inner workings of 
subversion, or git for that matter.

I excluded svnlite and portsnap from buildworld, figuring it was redundant with 
the full svn.

I know or strongly believe I need to update world/kernel before updating ports; 
that applies to NetBSD as well as FreeBSD.

I remember reading on this emailing list (ports) that ports might not build if 
the underlying base system is not supported.

In any case, I would have to rebuild ports again after updating world/kernel.

I was stung on that matter at least once when I updated world/kernel, believe I 
ran "make delete-old-libs", rendered many ports nonoperational, and had a lot 
of rebuilding to do.

If I don't want to risk making the present installation nonoperational, I can 
make another (GPT) partition and install to that.  I have more than enough 
space on 3 TB hard drive.

Have you tried 'svn revert -R .' in /usr/ports? Or a fresh checkout?
Have you tried svnlite from base?

You should really update world/kernel first and then update all your ports.
At least some ports will probably fail on this old system.

svn error: node conflict in /usr/ports/x11/xcb-proto/files

2017-04-21 Thread Thomas Mueller
On this computer, I can't get /usr/ports/x11/xcb-proto/files: 

Skipped 'files' -- Node remains in conflict 
At revision 439134. 
Summary of conflicts:   
  Skipped paths: 1  

On other computer, this directory downloads successfully with svn.

I even tried downloading with lynx and with w3m, but these text-mode browsers 
compress (gzip) the downloaded file, and I can't see how to avoid this.  I used 
to be able to download with lynx, and downloaded file was the same as on the 
server; lynx would never compress it gratuitously.

This is an old installation, needs to be updated when I can get to it after 
some other tasks.

svn --version shows
svn, version 1.8.8 (r1568071)   
   compiled Mar 24 2014, 09:58:59 on amd64-portbld-freebsd11.0 

uname -a shows

FreeBSD amelia2 11.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 11.0-CURRENT #1 r286653M: Wed Aug 12 
15:25:51 UTC 2015 root@amelia2:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SANDY11NC-NDIS  amd64

I wonder about the error message.  It recurs even if I rmdir the files 
directory and run "svn up ." again.

Could it be something going bad with this Western Digital 3 TB hard drive?

Old Xorg installation no longer works, crashes the computer immediately, so I 
can't use graphic browser unless I go to NetBSD installation that also sorely 
needs updating.  But maybe that subversion might work, onless it's something 
bad with the hard drive or some glitch with the server (but then why was it OK 
on the other computer?)
