CVsup only works once.
I was updating my ports and my damn dsl modem up and desides to lose connection. So I reconnected to the net and ran the command again, cvsup -g -L 2 locationoffile. It says establishing multiplexed connection, runnning, updating collection ports-all/cvs and just sits there doing nothing.
Am I missing something? Why isnt it continuing from where it left off. |
How long is it sitting there and is your disk light on?
It may just be trying to determine where it was in the last attempt. It might take a couple of minutes or longer to get everything cleaned up. |

If you have the graphic option compiled in... you might want to see it in the graphical mode. (Leave the -g off the command line) It will show you a lot more detail about what exactly it is doing... I think there is an option to be really really verbose on the command line but I am not sure of it (probably some variation of [-v]...)
If we could see what it was attempting to do when it stops... then we would know if it was wedged. |
Leaving the -g off does not change anything.
|
So it doesn't come up graphicaly in a window... that means it was compiled without X support. You already have verbosity turned all the way up...
Does `top` show what state cvsup is in while it is just sitting there? If it is running at near 100% we can be sure it is doing something... (no disk acitivity doesn't mean it isn't running but lots of it always means it is)... or is it in a wait state? |
There's a good chance it hasn't made it back to where it stopped before. It needs to check each file every time you issue the command. If a file is up to date already, it won't generate output. It's going to need to check hundreds of files before it gets back to the point where you didn't have the latest files.

Ok, Im gonna let it run again. But this time I will leave it on for a little while longer. Maybe you guys are right, you probably are right, why am I doubting you, why am I talking to myself in a reply box.

Grrrr. re0 watchdog timeout again. I even disabled acpi. What else could this be.
|
Man I am an idiot. I just realized I that my wifi card is a bsd compatible one, so I ask myself this very minute "why are you using the lan card that doesnt work, your bandwidth speed wont exceed the capability of the wifi anyway". DUH
Now its updating all the ports and not timing out. I just gotta figure out how to completely remove my lan card from booting when I do my kernel recompile. |
Just remove the /etc/hostname.re0; there's no need to recompile the kernel.

Not to be impolite, but have you read the man pages or even the OpenBSD FAQ? hostname.if is how OpenBSD knows what NICs to configure. If you don't have a hostname.if for your network card, OpenBSD will ignore it during the boot process (it will be detected, but not configure).
Why do you think you need to recompile your kernel? OpenBSD is not Linux. People don't think you're "l33t" if you compile a custom OpenBSD kernel, they thing you're an amature. The OpenBSD devel team prides themselves in putting everything necessary in the GENERIC kernel so almost no one will ever need to compile it custom. There are only a few very rare circumstances where you would need to configure a custom kernel. Also, if you do compile a custom kernel then you're on your own for support. The developers and mailing lists will not answer your questions unless you're using a GENERIC kernel. |
Im not using OpenBSD. I am running FreeBSD.
Im sorry if I offended you in some way. BSD is a really good OS, im just still not familiar enough with it. I also dont have the above file. |
Oh and cvsup completed. I just had to let it think a while.
