AS soon as I switched to head, the latest entry in UPDATING is from 6-FEB-2013 and the revision is 311942. Or maybe I misunderstood you? You do. :-) The local _subversion repository_ (I know I'm using incorrent terminology) has a revision number: r##. Which is the same across different versions of FreeBSD. The individual ports _maintained within that repository_ have their individual ports numbers (e.g. libreoffice-3.6.5) ... which also does not vary with the FreeBSD release. One can have libreoffice-3.6.5 and libreoffice 3.5.4 - but those are two separate ports and both work (or should) on 8.3, 9.1, and -CURRENT. If a port has a minimum (or maximum) release of the OS it supports, there a mechanism for figuring that out and DTRT. Or did I misunderstand you? Yes, it is now branched, and he was probably using the equivalent of: http://svnweb.FreeBSD.org/ports/branches/RELENG_9_1_0/ rather than http://svnweb.FreeBSD.org/ports/head/ By the way, Anton, you may wish to use https:// rather than svn:// -- slightly less efficient, but more secure. yes, got it, cool! root@zzz:/root # svn info /usr/ports/ Path: /usr/ports Working Copy Root Path: /usr/ports URL: https://svn0.us-east.freebsd.org/ports/head Repository Root: https://svn0.us-east.freebsd.org/ports Repository UUID: 35697150-7ecd-e111-bb59-0022644237b5 Revision: 311950 Node Kind: directory Schedule: normal Last Changed Author: eadler Last Changed Rev: 311950 Last Changed Date: 2013-02-08 19:18:40 + (Fri, 08 Feb 2013) root@zzz:/root # Does svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/head support https too? Thanks Anton Just to repeat what others have tried to tell you. The ports tree is NOT branched. The branches/RELENG_9_1_0 thing is a tag in subversion terminology, a read only-snapshot of head from the time the release was made that will never be updated. -Kimmo Actually I'm talking slightly rubbish here, the tags are in the tags/* part of the repository, for example http://svn.freebsd.org/ports/tags/RELEASE_9_1_0. The branches/RELENG_9_1_0 thing is a proper branch but since there's no announcement of what it should used for I would guess it's someone's test branch. Yes, it's a branch -- or a copy, I suppose, in subversion terms. I believe it was used to generate the package set for the 9.1 release. There probably won't be any future changes to it, but people can use it, as Anton apparently did. yes, that's what I thought. Anton P.S. Thanks for the https hint, I now moved both the ports and the src trees to it. ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
