Re: vfs megapatch 09 (not for the faint of heart)
:As a test I deleted /usr/src/sys/* and cvsup'd again. After that
:your vfsx09.patch applied cleanly once again.
:
:So it seems that cvsup did indeed get confused by something. My
:mind boggles at the implications of that :-(
:
:Everything else seems to be working just fine -- is there *any*
:chance that the vfs patch might be responsible for cvsup getting
:'confused'?
:
:BTW, my DragonFly-src-supfile contains this line:
:*default release=cvs tag=.
:
:This should get me HEAD when I use cvsup, correct?
cvsup'ing the sources directly is dangerous when you are also trying
to maintain a set of modifications. cvsup is clueless about the
modifications. I don't think the kernel has anything to do with it.
If you are trying to maintain a set of modifications (e.g. like my vfs
patch), what you need to do is pull down the cvs tree itself with cvsup
and then cvs checkout the sources into /usr/src. Then just use a
cron job to automatically keep your cvs tree up-to-date (once a day only,
please). Updating your source tree is then just a matter of a
'cvs update' from /usr/src. cvs will *NOT* get confused about any
applied patches to the sources.
