How to re-add in openbsd cvs tree
# 18 Feb 2018It’s quite simple but I forget so many times. This short blog post is for all forgetful port monkeys.
Let’s try to re-add net/ktorrent in four simple steps.
-
First of all checkout whether your port is already imported or in Attic. The easiest way to do this is by checking webcvs. For example net/ktorrent in cvsweb. If you read (in the Attic), you know it was imported but now it’s deleted.
-
Make sure you do not have
update -P
in your~/.cvsrc
or a shell alias otherwise you won’t see what cvs(1) tells you. -
Initial preparation
$ cd /usr/ports/ $ rm -rf net/ktorrent $ cvs up -d net/ktorrent cvs server: Updating net/ktorrent cvs server: Updating net/ktorrent/patches cvs server: Updating net/ktorrent/pkg
If you can’t read the cvs(1) server output, you did something wrong in step 2. Be warned! mkdir(1) -p net/ktorrent/pkg would not be sufficient because it would not create the administrative directories net/ktorrent/CVS and net/ktorrent/pkg/CVS.
- Re-add
$ tar -xzvf ~/ktorrent.tar.gz net/ktorrent net/ktorrent/Makefile net/ktorrent/distinfo net/ktorrent/pkg net/ktorrent/pkg/PLIST net/ktorrent/pkg/DESCR $ cd net/ktorrent $ cvs add Makefile distinfo pkg/DESCR pkg/PLIST cvs server: re-adding file Makefile (in place of dead revision 1.39) cvs server: re-adding file distinfo (in place of dead revision 1.8) cvs server: re-adding file pkg/DESCR (in place of dead revision 1.2) cvs server: re-adding file pkg/PLIST (in place of dead revision 1.12) cvs server: use 'cvs commit' to add these files permanently
Now is the best time for a brief, final build and review of the port, to make sure everything works fine.
