Following stable branch with subversion

MarcoB

MarcoB

I've started using subversion instead of csup to follow the 9-stable branche (and ports). Csup had a config file with a line that says which branch to follow. But I didn't find any file for subversion for this. I used:
Code: 
# svn checkout svn://svn.FreeBSD.org/base/stable/9 /usr/src
to fetch the new src tree, and:
Code: 
# svn update /usr/src
to update it.
So how does subversion know what branche I'm following when updating the tree?

Regards,

Marco
 
And I have a question, too. In the handbook section on using subversion

Code: 
# cd root
# make update SVN_UPDATE=yes

for updating the documentation, however, when I do this, I got an error.
Code: 
# cd /usr/src
# make update SVN_UPDATE=yes
--------------------------------------------------------------
>>> Updating /usr/src using Subversion
--------------------------------------------------------------
svn update -r HEAD
svn: not found
*** [update] Error code 127

Stop in /usr/src.
*** [update] Error code 1

Stop in /usr/src.
Someone please explain me what the make command is supposed to do. Thanks.

If you look at the /usr/src directory you will see a directory called .svn. That is where the information is being stored.

Code: 
drwxr-xr-x    4 root  wheel       7 Oct  7 12:49 .svn

If you are also in that directory, a simple:

[CMD=""]#svn up[/CMD]

Will trigger the update.

Aha, didn't know that. Thanks for the info!

HI,
Your post is old but the problem still exists. First you have to install subversion:
# pkg_add -r subversion
or install it from the ports.

Then you also put following lines into your /etc/make.conf:
Code: 
SVN_UPDATE=yes
SVN=/usr/local/bin/svn
Now you can go to /usr/src/ and type # make update
I assume that you get an clean copy from an svn mirror. You wanted stable 9:

Code: 
mv /usr/src /usr/SRC
svn checkout [url]https://svn0.us-west.FreeBSD.org/base/stabel/9[/url] /usr/src
Regards

It's all saved within the working directory:
Code: 
# cd /usr/src
# svn info
