I'm trying to use csup to get a single file at a certain date.
In particular, I'm trying to get /usr/ports/UPDATING.
I made a copy of /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile and made the
following changes:
# pick a server
*default host=cvsup9.FreeBSD.org
# Date to sync to
# (jw) I use this so I can gradually update ports, instead of
# getting too many things changing at once causing upgrade pain
date=2009.11.12.00.00.00
I then run the command:
csup -L2 -i 'UPDATING' path/to/my/supfile
I have also tried 'UPDATING*', '*UPDATING*', and '/UPDATING*' since
i'm not sure from the docs exactly what the -i pattern should look
like.
However, none of those work.
What I want is to get the single file /usr/ports/UPDATING as of the
date given in the supfile.
What am I missing?
Am I going about it entirely wrong?
Thanks
-John
