Strange cvsup problem

[Remko Lodder]

Perhaps you should remove this:

*default delete use-rel-suffix

from your supfile.

What i always do in case of troubles,

mv /usr/src /usr/src.orig
cvsup -g -L 2 $supfile

so i always have a valid backup in case things go totally wrong :)

Hope this helps you a bit,

Cheers

Onderwerp: Strange cvsup problem


Hi, all folks:

I use FreeBSD 4.7, and I have setup cvsup for updating
my src-all, ports-all and doc-all, it worked fine
before as I have used it for upgrading from 4.7
release to 4.7 stable. But after I changed supfile to
force it update to 4.9 release, the cvsup stoped
working and deleted all source under /usr/src.

Here is the portion of non-comment of changed supfile:
*default host=cvsup4.uk.FreeBSD.org
*default base=/usr
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4_9
*default delete use-rel-suffix
*default compress
src-all
ports-all tag=.
doc-all tag=.

It seems that cvsup do get the updated files, but it
refuse to put them into the place. Here is the first
fragment of checkout file
/usr/sup/src-all/checkouts.cvs:RELENG_4_9:
F 5 1078885727

c src/COPYRIGHT,v RELENG_4_9 .

Could anyone kindly help me sort out where goes wrong
and advise me how to fix this problem?

Thanks in advance!
