>Description:
An error in writing of the explanation in /usr/share/examples/cvsup/refuse
causes misinterpretation and inconsistency with cvsup(1).
Although cvsup(1) says `There is currently no provision for comments
in refuse files.', in /usr/share/examples/cvsup/refuse:
#You can copy this file to your sup directory and uncomment or add
#whatever you would like.
I propose to change the above two lines in /usr/share/examples/cvsup/refuse to:
#You can copy this file to your sup directory and uncomment or add
#whatever you would like. It should be noted that any comment must be
#removed from refuse files as there is currently no provision for comments.
or add the following lines to /usr/share/examples/cvsup/refuse.
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#CAUTION:Any comment must be removed from refuse files as there is currently
# no provision for comments.
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
If there are comments in /usr/sup/refuse by mistake caused by the explanation
in /usr/share/examples/cvsup/refuse, the behavior of `cvsup' depends strongly
on the server-defined collection of files and even on the comments.
This is the cause of the delayed finding of this problem. For example,
1. If one uses the whole /usr/share/examples/cvsup/refuse as /usr/sup/refuse,
cvsup works for `ports-all' and donsn't work for 'src-all'(no error but
never update).
2. If one uses the modified /usr/share/examples/cvsup/refuse where the second
line from the end of the file
(#Use this feature with care -- many parts of the src distribution depend)
are removed, cvsup works for `ports-all' and `src-all'.
Best regards,
Jun Ushida
>How-To-Repeat:
Uses the whole /usr/share/examples/cvsup/refuse as /usr/sup/refuse.
The command `cvsup' works for `ports-all' and donsn't work for
'src-all'(no error but never update).
>Fix:
Modify /usr/share/examples/cvsup/refuse as I proposed.

Hmm, how about this:
