Hi list,


After downloading tree from anoncvs server, a few days later, I ran below 2
commands to update it.

# cd /usr/src && cvs -q up -rOPENBSD_4_8 -Pd


nothing returned. I think it is uptodate.

then, hit below command.

# cd /usr/ports && cvs -q up -rOPENBSD_4_8 -Pd

it returned below OUTPUT. Could you pls explain, what is P and What is U
displaying in front?

P net/tor/Makefile
U net/tor/distinfo
P textproc/libxml/Makefile
U textproc/libxml/patches/patch-xpath_c
P x11/dbus/Makefile
U x11/dbus/patches/patch-dbus_dbus-marshal-validate_c
U x11/dbus/patches/patch-dbus_dbus-marshal-validate_h
U x11/dbus/patches/patch-dbus_dbus-message-factory_c
U x11/dbus/patches/patch-doc_dbus-specification_xml

update keeps you informed of its progress by printing a line for
              each file, prefaced with one of the characters to indicate the
              status of the file:



      U file    The file has been brought up to date with respect to the
                 repository.  This is done for any file that exists in the
                 repository but not in your source, and for files that you
                 haven't changed but are not the most recent versions
                 available in the repository.

       P file    As but instead of transferring the entire file a patch
                 containing the required changes were sent.

       A file    The file has been added to your private copy of the
sources,
                 and will be added to the source repository when you run on
                 the file.  This is a reminder to you that the file needs to
                 be committed.

       R file    The file has been removed from your private copy of the
                 sources, and will be removed from the source repository
when
                 you run on the file.  This is a reminder to you that the
file
                 needs to be committed.

       M file    The file has been modified in your working directory.  can
                 indicate one of two states for a file you're working on:
                 either there were no modifications to the same file in the
                 repository, so that your file remains as you last saw it;
or
                 there were modifications in the repository as well as in
your
                 copy, but they were merged successfully, without conflict,
in
                 your working directory.

        C file    A conflict has been detected while trying to merge your
                 changes to file with changes from the source ...
