userland sources
I'm installing Gnome on one of my laptops running FreeBSD 7. After some time it stops with an error Userland sources required in /usr/src.
there are 2 ways of doing it. 1 through csup 2. sysinstall 1. Do I need to modify /usr/share/examples/cvsup/standard-supfile to fetch some perticular port 2. If I use sysinstall I didn't saw userland sources any where under configuration => Distribution => src. Then which sources i should select? |

what do you have in /usr/src directory?
when i was installing gnome last time, i had only kernel sources and had no problems.... anyway, if you going to install any/all sources, i would use sysinstall and then modified cvsup to update them (if you want to) This is my supfile, i was using to update my sources just 3 days ago Code:
*default host=cvsup3.lv.freebsd.org *default tag=RELENG_7_0 *default prefix=/usr *default base=/var/db *default release=cvs delete use-rel-suffix compress src-all http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/cvsup.html P.S. and why i don't want to just fetch sources with csup???? A: it's dam slow |

*default tag=RELENG_7 and you will get same sources with csup as on installcd |

Thanks to you all, now the installation of gnome is done and I've custom compiled my kernel for sound support, now I wont be needing the source files for some time and would like to remove them as they are taking quiet some space on my 40 Gig HD .
So can I recursively delete entire contents of my /usr/src directory or should take care for some important configuration or makefiles. I've copied my custom kernel configuration to /root/ directory. |
