Hi,

Everytime I update the CSV /usr/ports tree, I get messages like

  cvs update: move away www/tor-browser/browser/pkg/PLIST; it is in the way

I clean it up like this:

  cvs -q up -Pd -A > cvs-up.out 2>&1
  rm $(grep 'in the way' cvs-up.out | awk '{ print $5 }' | awk -F\; '{ print $1 }')

Is this normal behaviour and is it okay to handle this like this, do I
need an additional option to cvs(1) or is something incorrectly set up
on my system?

Should I remove files marked by cvs(1) with '?' as well?


mvanhult@detekti:/home/_ports$ cat /etc/mk.conf 
FETCH_PACKAGES= -D snap
PORTSDIR      = /home/_ports
PORTSDIR_PATH = ${PORTSDIR}/mystuff:${PORTSDIR}
PORTS_PRIVSEP = Yes
SUDO          = doas
USE_CCACHE    = Yes
