Solved FreeBSD 13 missing from base/releng

[DrEuclidean]

In attempting to checkout 13's source, svn errored out saying it couldn't find base/releng/13.0. And, indeed, the https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/releng/ server does not contain any source at all for version 13.

I'm at a loss here.

FreeBSD has switched to git. I'd have thought svn would still work, but anyway the git command should be

git clone -b releng/13.0 https://git.freebsd.org/src.git src

I have a page https://srobb.net/fbsdgit.html which has some info, including links to some good posts about this on and off the forum.

You should also be able to use net/gitup which tries to replicate the small low-dependency svnup tool.

There seem to be several packages that are to git like svnlite is to svn. I do remember that gitup needed extras before being able to do git clone <url>. The git-tiny package though, works for my VERY limited purposes, git clone and git pull.

Well, the net/gitup package does not contain a “git” command. It contains a “gitup” command, and that command neither knows a “clone” argument, nor does it support URLs on the command line.

gitup is not meant to be a replacement for git (nor git-lite, nor git-tiny). It is meant to be a replacement for svnup, therefore it has a usage similar to svnup. And for that specific purpose, gitup works perfectly well out of the box. See the gitup(1) manual page for details.

For releng/13.0 all you need to do is edit /usr/local/etc/gitup.conf and change the parameters for "release". The default gitup.conf fetches the sources for releng/11.4 (that's 11.4-RELEASE).

Just edit this bit and set branch correctly:

        "release" : {
                "repository" : "/src.git",
                "branch"     : "releng/13.0",
                "target"     : "/usr/src",

Then simply run gitup release.

Thank you so much!

Glad it helped. I put it up because I kept having to look up the threads in the forum that give the information.

This would be nice for having a scope for input to provide satable no. or release no. or quarterly number along with section option.
