The cvs was still going, and I saw that the CVS files for mplayer and ogle were added, but no pkgsrc files for it. Then I noticed that pkgsrc's CVS/Tag was set to "D2001.09.10.07.00.00". The cvs(1) manual says:

... when you get a working file using -D, cvs records the date you specified, so that further updates in the same directory will use the same date ...

... use the -A option to make cvs forget these specifications, and retrieve the ``head'' ...

This was so obvious -- I should have noticed this when I first did a couple days ago and only had a few Modifies and Conflicts and no Updates.

(I stopped the update at 95 minutes in "Updating x11/lesstif/patches".) So again:

time cvs update -A -d -P 2>&1 | tee LOG ; date

This took 112 minutes and ended at 02:43 in the morning while I was asleep.

I am curious: where are any bulk-builds available for download?

I want to update fxtv using binary packages, but no bin-update yet. So I did:

$ pkg_delete fxtv
$ make TARGET=bin-install bin-install 2>&1 | tee LOG

Was done in a few seconds :)

Started to build graphics/ogle_gui. But 15 seconds later, it died with "ogle-0.8.2 is not available for NetBSD-1.5.3_ALPHA-i386" (the same error in the bulk builds pkgstats). I see now: it needs -current.

So decided to install graphics/apla so I can watch AVI files:

time make TARGET=bin-install bin-install 2>&1 | tee LOG

Five minutes later, it died because of wrong libtool: So I uninstalled libtool-base-1.4.20010219nb6 and libtool-1.4.20010219nb6. Installing apla again. And less than two minutes later, died again due to old libaudiofile. When I tried to delete it, I received:

pkg_delete: unable to change directory to /var/db/pkg/gnome-libs-1.2.13!
deinstall failed

So I deleted the gnome-libs line from /var/db/pkg/libaudiofile-0.1.10/+REQUIRED_BY. But that didn't help. So I used pkg_delete -f (to force it).

Trying apla again and shortly later x11-links-0.2 was old. So deleted it and started again. Eight minutes later, it died in avifile-devel with:

Running automake...
Problems detected. Please investigate.
If generated 'configure' script is useless try following:
rm -f configure ltmain.sh config.guess condig.sub
cvs update
automake
configure
creating cache ./config.cache
checking host system type... i386--netbsd
checking target system type... i386--netbsd
./configure: 661: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")

So I followed those ideas: deleted those files under /usr/pkg/pkgsrc/graphics/avifile-devel/work/avifile-0.6 and the ran "cvs update" which fetched from cvs.avifile.sourceforge.net. Well, automake didn't work -- several errors and no configure script made. So I removed all that work: "make clean" under avifile-devel. Then did a "make" under avifile-devel. Well, same error happened again.

So I did:

CVSROOT=:pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.netbsd.org:/cvsroot; export CVSROOT
cvs login # used anoncvs
cvs update -A -d -P

No changes. I sent a PR about this: pkg/15689. (12/Mar/2002: fredb said it is fixed; and PR closed on 29/Mar/2002.)
