changes that might cause problems in the build process, and a guide for |
|
what to do if something doesn't work. |

Note that much of the advice in this UPDATING file was written before |

|
smmsp user/group has been added for sendmail. |
|
|
|
Add the following into /etc/group: |
|
|
|
smmsp:*:17: |
|
|
|
and the following to /etc/master.passwd (via vipw): |
|
|
|
smmsp:*:17:17::0:0:Sendmail Message Submission Program:/nonexistent:/sbin/nologin |
|
|
|
20020515: |
|
sshd user/group has been added. Need to hand add this in, or sshd |
|

and the following to /etc/master.passwd (via vipw): |
|
|
|
sshd:*:16:16::0:0:& pseudo-user:/var/chroot/sshd:/sbin/nologin |
|
|
|
Also /var/chroot/sshd directory needs to be present (digged as part of |
|
the build process). |
|
|
|
20020426: |
|
NBUILDJOBS obsoleted in favor of just using -j. |
|
|
|
20020426: |
|
etc/postinstall added, which performs various checks for |
|
configuration file updates and changes, and can fix most of |

the problems identified. |
|
This should make it much easier to upgrade a system's |
|
configuration from earlier systems (as far back as NetBSD 1.5). |
|
|

|
newer than November 2001 when you upgrade the kernel. |
|
|
|
20020311: |
|
ssh configuration files were moved from /etc to /etc/ssh. Beware |
|
if you restart your machine from remote. Note that sshd.conf needs |
|
to be changed (due to the use of "/etc" inside). |
|
|
|
20020223: |

If you're attempting to build a snapshot on sparc64 and are getting |
|
reloc errors from the toolchain groff binary this means your native |
|
toolchain has some broken C++ bits. |
|
|
|
To fix: |
|
|
|
Build a new toolchain (i.e. build.sh -t) |
|
Use the new toolchain to build and install natively (i.e. /usr/lib) |
|
|
|
gnu/lib/libgcc |
|
gnu/lib/libstdc++ |
|
|
|
After this a snapshot will be able to be built. |
|
|
|
20011201: |
|
In order for a sparc64 build to work you must have a working awk. If |
|
you've built and installed a system with the new toolchain up to this |
|
point you do not have a working awk as its ability to do floating |
|
point is broken. |
|
|
|
To build: |
|
|
|
remake and install gnu/lib/libgcc |
|
remake and install gnu/usr.bin/gawk into /usr/bin (make sure it links |
|
against the new libgcc.a) |
|
|
|
20011128: |
|
Kernel config information was changed to use defflag in |
|
the various "files" files. Bug fixes to config(8) are |
|
required in order for this to work properly. Make sure |
|
to build and install in usr.sbin/config before attempting |
|
to build a new kernel. |
|
|
|
20011030: |
|
libc/locale/wcstod.c now needs new lint(1). Update lint(1) |
|

20011029: |
|
The new document BUILDING.mdoc (view with nroff | more, or |
|
see pre-generated .txt and .html versions) describes the build |
|
procedure in great detail. BUILDING, and the USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN |
|
build process, are intended in the long run to replace this |
|
manual update log. |
|
|
|
Users building a USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN system should read the |
|
BUILDING document for caveats. Generally, BUILDING supersedes |
|
UPDATING for these systems, as tool updating is taken care of |
|
by the new build system. |
|
|
|
20011028: |
|
src/etc/Makefile now needs install to be able to handle |
|
symlinks that point to nowhere. A bug in install that |
|
prevented this was corrected. |
|
|
|
Solution: update and reinstall usr.bin/xinstall |
|
Better Solution: Use the new toolchain and it will just work |
|
for you. |
|
|
|
20011006: |
|
/etc/mtree/NetBSD.dist has been updated to take advantage of |
|
absolute path support added to mtree(8). Older mtree(8)s don't |
|
understand the format. |
|
|
|
Solution: update and reinstall usr.sbin/mtree |
|
|
|
20011004: |
|
Crunchgen has been updated to work via reach-over makefiles. Updating |
|
is suggested before running a snapshot build |
|
|
|
20010915: |
|
The new "ubcperf" code committed by Chuck Silvers removed |
|
a header file, uvm/uvm_vnode.h. There may be stale .depend |
|
files that still reference this file. |
|
|
|
Solution: "make cleandir && make dependall" in affected |
|
directories. |
|
|
|
20010803: |
|
grep.info is now built from grep.texi using makeinfo. Since it |
|
requires makeinfo v4.0, you need to install new texinfo before |
|
building gnu/usr.bin/grep. To install new texinfo, please follow |
|
the instruction described in 20010726 entry. |
|
|
|
20010803: |
|
(i386 only): i386 kernel now uses new instructions like |
|
`fxsave' which old gas doesn't understand. To build the |
|
kernel successfully, you need to build and install a new toolchain, |
|
(i.e., build.sh -t) or (temporarily) comment out "options I686_CPU" |
|
from your kernel configuration until you rebuild your userland. |
|
See 20011029 above and BUILDING file in this directory for more information. |
|
[updated 20020630 since i386 gas moved when USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN enabled] |
|
|
|
20010731: |
|
Bootloader update on ELF platforms. DDB in kernels from before |
|
this will be unable to read symbol tables provided by newer |
|
bootloaders. |
|
|
|
20010726: |
|
Texinfo was updated to 4.0. To avoid failures when trying to |
|
build the included texinfo files, do: |
|
|
|
cd src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo |
|
make MKINFO=no dependall install |
|
|
|
20010718: |
|
Enabled correct .init/.fini processing in crt0. The way this |
|
was done was to change a -I directive to cc(1), which means |
|
make(1) will have a stale dependency (it will be checking the |
|
timestamp on the wrong "dot_init.h"). |
|
|
|
The symptom you will see is that new programs die with SIGSEGV |
|
if you have a stale dependency. |
|
|
|
Solution: "make cleandir" in both lib/csu and libexec/ld.elf_so |
|
before starting your build. |
|
|
|
20010628: |
|
A construct was added to uvm_page.h that uncovered a bug |
|
in lint(1). If you get a warning/error about a non-portable |
|
bitfield, update your lint(1) before proceeding. |
|
|
|
20010226: |
|
Added named user/group to system. Need to hand add this in or builds |
|
will break as mtree aborts early. |
|
|
|
To work around add by hand: |
|
|
|
named:*:14: |
|
|
|
to /etc/group and add: |
|
|
|
named:*:14:14::0:0:Named pseudo-user:/var/named:/sbin/nologin |
|
|
|
to master.passwd (use vipw for instance if doing by hand). |
|
|
|
Now a make build should progress. |
|
|
|
20010219: |
|
get/setprogname() added. Any hostprogs that may use this will need |
|
to be bootstrapped manually until the host system is current. |
|
|
|
Known problems: sys/arch/macppc/stand/fixcoff |
|
usr.sbin/config (adding -DMAKE_BOOTSTRAP to |
|
CFLAGS and rebuilding should work) |
|
usr.sbin/mdsetimage - Build a static copy if |
|
building a snapshot before fully bootstrapped. |
|
|
|
20010204: |
|
prepare the code to compile with stricter gcc flags. in |
|
particular start eliminating redundant declarations. Yacc |
|
needs to be installed before make build. |
|
|
|
20010114: |
|
introduce .if commands(target) in make(1). You need to |
|
bring everything up-to-date first, then without installing |
|
anything make and install in usr.bin/make, then proceed |
|
with make build. |
|
|
|
20010101: |
|
bsd.subdir.mk committed 20001230 had a bug which caused |
|
afterinstall targets to run too soon; update again. |
|
|
|
20001230: |
|
New share/mk files needed to support .WAIT in SUBDIR variables. |
|
If you get make errors, |
|
(cd share/mk; make install) |
|
Also, PRINTOBJDIR has changed and is now used more heavily. |
|
|
|
20001019: |
|
The `ca' device driver has been replaced by `ld'; although the |
|
major and minor numbers haven't changed, you should update your /dev |
|
directory. |
directory. |
|
|
20000929: |
20110121: |
The following make directives are obsoleted. |
Assembler files no longer use -traditional-cpp. This can break |
MKCRYPTO_RSA NOCRYPTO_RSA NOCRYPTO_RC5 NOCRYPTO_IDEA |
the build of individual parts of the tree. This is handled |
By default, RSA is built into libcrypto. IDEA and RC5 will not be |
correctly by build.sh. Manual builds have to update /usr/share/mk |
built into libcrypto. By using MKCRYPTO_{RC5,IDEA}, you can build |
and re-run config(1) for any kernel configurations as needed. |
additional library libcrypto_{idea,rc5}. |
|
|
20101217: |
|
The tcpdump(8) program was changed to drop privileges and chroot(2) |
|
by default. It may be necessary to manually update passwd(5) and |
|
group(5) in order to make the program work with existing setups. |
|
|
|
20101125: |
|
The latest changes to setenv(3) dissallow setting environment |
|
variables with names that contain '='. Revision 1.18 of env.c |
|
assumed that this was allowed. Installing a new libc with an |
|
old copy of /usr/bin/env causes env x=1 printenv | grep x= to |
|
break which affects the autoconf tests for dependency finding, |
|
so building gcc will end up printing: |
|
checking dependency style of gcc... none |
|
configure: error: no usable dependency style found |
|
Fix it by rebuilding and re-installing env. |
|
|
|
20101119: |
|
Recent Xorg updates in xsrc/external/mit/ may cause various build |
|
or run-time problems. Delete your entire DESTDIR and OBJDIR if you |
|
have any build problems with xsrc, or problems with mismatched |
|
versions between xorg-server and drivers. |
|
|
|
20100604: |
|
The update of ATF to 0.9 causes old tests written in shell to fail |
|
unless they are rebuilt. If you are building with MKUPDATE=yes, |
|
you need to clean the src/external/bsd/atf/tests/ and the src/tests/ |
|
trees by hand. |
|
|
|
20100522: |
|
Recent Xorg updates in xsrc/external/mit/ will cause various build |
|
problems. Delete your entire DESTDIR and OBJDIR if you have any |
|
build problems with xsrc. |
|
|
|
20100522: |
|
private section of <ctype.h> was splitted, and now mklocale(1) |
|
include ctype_local.h, so you have to make cleandir in tools/mklocale. |
|
|
|
20100520: |
|
The location of the xkb compiled descriptions has changed. Please |
|
remove usr/X11R7/lib/X11/xkb/compiled from your $DESTDIR. |
|
|
|
20100222: |
|
The shared objects file extension has been changed from .so to |
|
.pico, in order to avoid conflicts with shared libraries names |
|
libXX.so. All now stale regular .so files can be removed from |
|
your object directories. |
|
|
|
20100204: |
|
The termcap database has been removed from the sources, |
|
but has not been marked obsolete so it is not removed |
|
from the system when upgrading. |
|
As such, you will need to remove them from your object |
|
and destination directories. |
|
|
|
20091101: |
|
After updating, it may be necessary to make the 'cleandir' |
|
target in src/tools/yacc/ and in src/usr.bin/yacc/ before a |
|
'build.sh -u tools' or 'build.sh -u distribution'. Ditto |
|
src/tools/lex/ and src/usr.bin/lex/. |
|
|
|
20091001: |
|
On amd64 you must rebuild tools (to get the new binutils) |
|
before building a kernel, or the build fails on cpufunc.S. |
|
|
|
20091001: |
|
An error will create a ./usr/X11R7/lib/X11/xkb/compiled/xkb |
|
symlink, failing the build. Delete the link, and the subdir |
|
it is in, and retry your build. |
|
|
|
20090718: |
|
libc build changed so that strchr() provides the extra entry |
|
point for index(). Update build of libc.a (and libc_pic.a) |
|
may fail because the archive contains the unwanted index.o. |
|
(Similarly for strrchr() and rindex().) |
|
|
|
20090709: |
|
Native Xorg was upgraded again. Builds will probably fail again |
|
without a clean objdir, at least for src/external/mit/xorg. |
|
|
|
20090616: |
|
Native Xorg was upgraded. Builds will need a clean objdir for |
|
src/external/mit/xorg. Upgrading a system from sets will not |
|
work properly yet as the /usr/X11R7/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/pc |
|
subdirectory has been changed into a file, and this needs to |
|
be manually "rm -r"'ed before installing xbase.tgz. |
|
|
|
20090501: |
|
Several new functions were added to string.h/libc, and this |
|
can cause autoconf problems during the tool build for people |
|
who fail to clean out their tools objects properly. If you |
|
note messages about stpcpy, stpncpy or strnlen accompanying a |
|
failure during the tool build, clean out all your tools |
|
objects and start again. |
|
|
|
20090325: |
|
The i386 port was switched to i486 default toolchain. This requires |
|
cleaning your src/tools directory and $TOOLDIR and rebuilding them. |
|
|
|
20090126: |
|
The __posix_fadvise50 system call changed assembly stub type. You |
|
need to 'rm -f __posix_fadvise50.*' in the libc build directory |
|
to avoid using the old assembly stub. |
|
|
|
20090202: |
|
pkg_install now depends on the pkgdb cache for automatic conflict |
|
detection. It is recommented to rebuild the cache with |
|
``pkg_admin rebuild''. |
|
|
|
20090110: |
|
time_t and dev_t have been bumped to 64 bit quantities. To upgrade: |
|
1. Make sure your kernel has COMPAT_50 in it. Build and install. |
|
This is needed even in the MODULAR kernel because there is |
|
conditionally compiled code in rtsock.c. |
|
2. make sure build.sh completes and the binaries in a chroot work |
|
before installing. |
|
3. If you don't use build.sh and you build directly to root, and |
|
your build breaks in the middle, don't despair. Make sure headers |
|
are installed properly, and start building libraries first libc |
|
and libutil, install them and then continue building all the |
|
libraries in src/lib and src/gnu/lib and install them. Once |
|
the new libraries are installed, you can restart the build. |
|
4. If you compile packages and you notice link time warnings, |
|
rebuild the required packages to update their shared libraries. |
|
Any package you rebuild will require rebuilding all the packages |
|
that depend on it. |
|
5. Next time you run pwd_mkdb with the new binary, the file |
|
will be upgraded and it will not be backwards compatible. |
|
6. The utmpx/wtmpx files (/var/run/utmpx and /var/log/wtmpx, see |
|
lastlogx(5)) have been versioned, and there is a heuristic |
|
for utmp. You are better off removing the old files after |
|
upgrading. The automated clearing of /var/run during |
|
boot, and the automated rotating of files in /var/log by |
|
newsyslog(8), may mean that you do not have to remove the |
|
files manually. |
|
7. The optional accounting file (/var/account/acct, see |
|
accton(8)) has not been versioned, and will need to be |
|
removed. The automatic rotation of the accounting file by |
|
/etc/daily limits the bad consequences of failure to remove |
|
the file. |
|
8. Application software that writes time_t to binary files on |
|
disk will break or need attention. Most notably: if you are |
|
using PostgreSQL < 8.4, you need to dump your databases, |
|
rebuild PostgreSQL with the new time_t, then restore. |
|
|
|
20081219: |
|
config(1) has been updated, and one of the files it creates - |
|
swapnetbsd.o - has changed format. You need to rebuild config |
|
(done automatically by build.sh) and then you need to rerun |
|
config on all kernel configuration files before rebuilding those |
|
kernels. |
|
|
|
20081205: |
|
If you build with MKX11=no, you should remove /etc/rc.d/xdm and |
|
/etc/rc.d/xfs from DESTDIR because those files were moved to the xetc |
|
set and will appear as extra files for MKX11=no update builds. |
|
|
|
20081122: |
|
On i386, various kernel options(4) in GENERIC including |
|
file systems have been disabled and moved into kernel modules. |
|
Before trying a new GENERIC kernel, you have to prepare the |
|
following files as well as a new GENERIC kernel: |
|
|
|
- build and install kernel modules from src/sys/modules |
|
|
|
- install the latest bootloader, which will load a module |
|
for the file system from which the kernel is loaded automatically |
|
|
|
If you have to load your kernel from a file system which is not of |
|
the same type as the root file system, you have to load the necessary |
|
file system module manually on the boot prompt or in the boot.cfg file. |
|
|
|
20080827: |
|
If you built and installed a libc from sources between |
|
2008/08/20 and 2008/08/26 you got a broken strtouq(3) |
|
which results in false errors reported by lint(1). |
|
Since this breaks the libc build itself, manual help is |
|
needed -- lint must be disabled temporarily, e.g.: |
|
$ (cd lib/libc && make MKLINT=no dependall install) |
|
|
|
20080813: |
|
MKDEBUG build was broken because the .depend files did not know |
|
about .go files. You need to remove all .depend files and rebuild. |
|
|
|
20080802: |
|
A regression in binary compatibility for pthread_mutex_t has |
|
been fixed. Unfortunately, the price is breaking compatibility |
|
for -current. |
|
|
|
Threaded programs (using libpthread) and C++ programs (using |
|
libstdc++) compiled after 20070907 and before 20080802 need to |
|
be recompiled. |
|
|
|
One way to find affected pkgsrc packages: |
|
|
|
$ grep REQUIRES=/usr/lib/libpthread /var/db/pkg/*/+BUILD_INFO |
|
$ grep REQUIRES=/usr/lib/libstdc++ /var/db/pkg/*/+BUILD_INFO |
|
|
|
20080731: |
|
WAPBL (metadata journaling support) has been added, but at this |
|
time isn't backwards compatible with pre-WAPBL aware kernels |
|
and userland (fsck_ffs in particular). Please make sure you |
|
don't use a journaled filesystem with an older kernel/userland, |
|
especially an uncleanly mounted journaled filesystem. WAPBL |
|
also requires the super block to be in the UFS2 format. You |
|
can use fsck_ffs -c 4 to update the superblock format. |
|
|
|
20080721: |
|
Assembler warnings are now fatal if $WARNS>0 and $NOGCCERROR |
|
isn't defined. |
|
|
|
20080531: |
|
The ioctl number of DRVSUSPENDDEV command on /dev/drvctl changed |
|
from 125 (conflicted with DRVCTLCOMMAND) to 129. The drvctl(8) |
|
utility needs to be rebuilt and reinstalled as older binaries |
|
won't work correctly. The following sequence of commands: |
|
|
|
$ (cd sys/sys/ && nbmake-$arch includes) |
|
$ (cd sbin/drvctl/ && nbmake-$arch clean) |
|
$ (cd sbin/drvctl/ && nbmake-$arch all) |
|
|
|
leaves new drvctl utility in sbin/drvctl build directory. |
|
|
|
20080503: |
|
The <bsd.lib.mk> variable MKPRIVATELIB was renamed to LIBISPRIVATE. |
|
|
|
20080521: |
|
For a while, unprivileged UPDATE builds would fail to |
|
succeed at the checkflist stage, complaining that |
|
${DESTDIR}/stand/<arch>/ did not exist. A fix for this |
|
problem was committed to share/mk/bsd.kmodule.mk, revision 1.9. |
|
If you already hit this problem, update the .mk file, |
|
remove ${DESTDIR}/stand/<arch>, and re-run the build. |
|
|
|
20080303: |
|
Linker warnings are now fatal if $WARNS>0. |
|
|
|
20080126: |
|
The posix_fadvise system call has been changed from an assembly |
|
stub, to a c file that calls an assembly stub. You need to |
|
'rm -f posix_fadvise.* .depend' in the libc build directory to |
|
avoid using the old assembly stub. |
|
|
|
20071209: |
|
The acpiec(4) driver has been split into two attachments. If you |
|
get ACPI errors before the attachment, please update your kernel |
|
configuration file appropriately or see GENERIC for more details. |
|
|
|
20071115: |
|
The it(4) driver has been renamed to itesio(4) and the old port |
|
argument specified in the kernel configuration file is not valid |
|
anymore. The itesio(4) driver now uses the Super I/O address port |
|
rather than the EC address port. Please update your kernel |
|
configuration file appropriately or see GENERIC for more details. |
|
|
|
20071028: |
|
The pccons(4) driver has been removed from the NetBSD/shark port. |
|
You need to update any custom kernel configuration file you have |
|
to remove any references to pccons (which includes removing the |
|
now useless XSERVER option) and replace them with the correct |
|
entries for the wscons driver. See the GENERIC configuration file |
|
for more details. |
|
|
|
20070913: |
|
A latent bug in dhclient/dhcpd that caused it to be unable to |
|
enumerate interfaces was fixed. The bug began to cause |
|
problems after 20070911 when the kernel's SIOCGIFCONF |
|
implementation was repaired. From 20070529 to 20070911 racoon |
|
could not enumerate interfaces. (These are noted because |
|
normal kernel/userspace version matching hygiene is not |
|
sufficient to avoid this problem.) Ensure that both kernel |
|
and userland are from after 20070913. |
|
|
|
20070703: |
|
nbinstall has been renamed ${MACHINE_GNU_ARCH}-install. It |
|
calls the target-specific strip program, and the logic to pass |
|
down STRIP from make has been removed. This requires a |
|
re-installation of tools. |
|
|
|
20070422: |
|
The way OS emulations lookup filenames inside the emulation root |
|
has been changed. Rather than modify the pathname (and copy back |
|
to userspace) namei() and lookup() directly check the emulation |
|
root. One side effect is that absolute symlinks inside the emulated |
|
root file system will be relative to that file system - unless they |
|
start /../ this is useful when the emulated root is a real install |
|
that has such links. |
|
This might affect symlinks that have been added to reference outside |
|
the emulated root. |
|
|
|
20070412: |
|
The pckbc driver on sgimips IP32 has been removed. Use macekbc |
|
instead. See the GENERIC32_IP3x kernel configuration for an |
|
example. |
|
|
|
20070319: |
|
src/lib/libc/Makefile revision 1.129 broke libc and ld.elf_so |
|
on many platforms due to incorrect flags settings. If you |
|
updated and built after about 20070315, do "nbmake-$arch |
|
cleandir" in src/lib/libc and src/libexec/ld.elf_so to force a |
|
rebuild of object files that might have been built |
|
incorrectly, and ensure that you have at least |
|
src/lib/libc/Makefile 1.130. |
|
|
|
20070210: |
|
src/sys/sys/{sa.h,savar.h} were removed. |
|
find ${OBJDIR} \( -name .depend -o -name '*.d' \) -print \ |
|
| xargs egrep -l '/sa.h|/savar.h' | xargs rm |
|
will allow dependencies on those files to get get rebuilt |
|
|
|
20070209: |
|
The threading model was changed when the newlock2 branch |
|
was merged to NetBSD-current. If you boot with a new |
|
kernel (version 4.99.10), then you also need a new pthread |
|
library (/usr/lib/libpthread.so.0.7). If you boot with |
|
an old kernel, then you need the old pthread library |
|
(/usr/lib/libpthread.so.0.6). Provided you keep the kernel and |
|
the pthread library in sync, old threaded applications should |
|
continue to work with an old or new kernel. Note that named(8) |
|
is the only threaded application in the base system. |
|
|
|
20061214: |
|
Following the move of string_to_flags() and flags_to_string() |
|
from the bin/ls/ sources to libutil, users doing UPDATE builds |
|
will need to do a "make cleandir" in |
|
tools/mtree/, tools/makefs/, tools/binstall/, tools/pax/, |
|
bin/pax/, bin/ls/, usr.sbin/mtree/, usr.sbin/makefs/, |
|
usr.bin/xinstall/, libexec/ftpd/, rescue/, as well |
|
as the installation images in distrib/ |
|
in order to excise stale references to the old stat_flags.h header |
|
file in the ls sources -- stat_flags.h has been removed. |
|
|
|
20061108: |
|
The configure script used in the src/tools/gcc compiler has been |
|
changed to indicate that our libc has ssp support built-in and |
|
does not depend on -lssp and -lssp-nonshared. You'll need to |
|
make clean in src/tools/gcc first to rebuild the compiler. |
|
|
|
20061009: |
|
The sysctl variables net.inet{,6}.tcp{,6}.newreno are no longer |
|
available. Use net.inet{,6}.tcp{,6}.congctl.selected instead. |
|
|
|
20060814: |
|
The vt, vidcconsole, kbd, and rpckbd drivers on acorn32 have been |
|
withdrawn. Use vidcvideo and pckbd instead. See the GENERIC |
|
kernel configuration for an example. X servers from the last |
|
few years should cope. |
|
|
|
20060703: |
|
MPACPI is no more. We always configure PCI interrupts using ACPI |
|

correct order, and it will keep the tools and the |

new build products from interfering with the running |

system. This will allow you to ignore most of the |

Symptom:cvs [update aborted]: cannot open directory /cvsroot/src/...: |
|
No such file or directory. |
|
Cause: If a directory is created by mistake, then it is sometimes |
|
deleted from the CVS repository using administrative commands |
|
that bypass the normal cvs access controls. If your cvs working tree |
|
contains references to a directory that has been deleted on the |
|
server in this way, then "cvs update" reports this error. |
|
Fix: Recursively delete the affected directory from your working tree |
|
and try the update again. |
