Re: Client only supports checkout mode
thanks i tried both cvsup and csup to update my ports and i'm not sure it's working. they both run through but the ports don't seem to be updated. like i can see a new port here http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/lang/php5/ which is 5.2.6 (also on freshports) but using cvsup3.FreeBSD.org i don't get above 5.2.5 is there any other way?

In cvs mode, the client does not simply checkout the latest version of the files from the repository, instead it retrieves the ,v files that make up the whole repository. Effectively this means you are creating a local copy of the repository, while in checkout mode you just get the latest revision of every file. CVS mode is mostly necessary if you wish to have quick access to all versions of a file (and the revision history) and mostly useful for developers. In other cases (for example, to update your ports tree) checkout mode is sufficient. And now, here is the catch: Many people need to use checkout mode often, so csup was created and added to the base system. Csup is a rewrite (in C) of the well know cvsup utility (that exists in ports). But csup *does not* support cvs mode. So if you are trying to use a supfile that operates in cvs mode, you will get the Client only supports checkout mode If you really need to use a cvs mode supfile, you will need to pkg_add -r cvsup-without-gui (or build it from ports) and then use the cvsup command instead of csup. A cvs mode supfile contains the line: default release = cvs while in a simple checkout supfile, this line also contains a tag, e.g. (my ports supfile): default release = cvs tag=. The tag simply requests a particular revision of the files (a checkout), and in the case of . it simply means the latest revision (head) You can get a nice description of all options in the Handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Well, just to make sure, use the ports-supfile from /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile and change *only* the server to cvsup10.FreeBSD.org Just checked my tree, and I have php 5.2.6. Some cvsup servers seem to be more up to date than others. Then again, if it is just the ports tree you are after, I would suggest using portsnap: The first time just do: portsnap fetch extract And for all subsequent times: portsnap fetch update That's it! No settings, no supfiles, no worries on selecting servers. And it is faster too. The first time it will download a ~50MB file, but then updates will be a lot smaller. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
