[gentoo-user] Attic files (app-admin/rackview) removed?

[gentoo-user] Attic files (app-admin/rackview) removed?

[James]

Hello,

So I used rackview many years ago. It's ok, simple to use.

It has been tree-cleansed. ok. So I went to the (gentoo) attic::

https://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/app-admin/
rackview/?hideattic=0

 rackview-0.09-r3.ebuild  seems to have been removed from the attic?


Are the devs now cleansing the attic?  I thought those were suppose to
remain into perpetuity, for a variety of reasons.....


stumped,
James

I have to revert to using 'wget' to snag the files and a copy
of the latest ebuild. I thought the command string given the the page::

vs -d :pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.gentoo.org:/var/cvsroot co
gentoo-x86/app-admin/rackview/files

was support to download the files and the ebuild, manifest etc etc.?

Is there a single (anoncvs) command syntax to use, in general to pull
complete (theoretically compilable) sources from the archive? It's been 
a while so my cvs could easily be incorrect....

wget is a champ.....

curiously,
James

Use the recursive option. Save the files to your portage tree.

man cvs::
-R
Process  directories  recursively.   This is the default for all cvs
commands, with the exception of ls & rls.

So, I have a '/usr/local/portage/app-admin/rackview/' dir.

What is the correct syntax string (I borked this a few times
to no avail)?


curiously,

`wget --help`

No problems with wget, I was referrring to cvs syntax.....

Reread the first email. The problem/question was on cvs syntax....only.

Because the entire directory in question is (now) empty, the
requirements are a bit different.

First, you must do the `cvs co` *without* the "-P" flag (check your
~/.cvsrc). You can bypass a ~/.cvsrc by passing "-f" to cvs, like so:

CVSROOT=":pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.gentoo.org:/var/cvsroot"
cvs -f -d "$CVSROOT" co gentoo-x86/app-admin/rackview

You can then cd into the directory in question
(gentoo-x86/app-admin/rackview), and for each file that you want,
determine the revision of the file just before it was removed (subtract
0.1 from the revision shown on the web view, or read the output of `cvs
log`).

You can then do `cvs up -r1.X file`, replacing "1.X" with the CVS
revision and "file" with the filename in question.  Note that CVS
tracked every file separately, so the revisions will differ between files.

I don't understand. 

   wget https://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/app-admin/rackview/rackview-0.09-r3.ebuild?revision=1.2

Doesn't this work for you?

Like I stated before, YES wget works fine. I was fumbaling around with the
cvs syntax/tricks/knowledge and wanted to have that correct. I seem to visit
the attic on a semi regular basis and my /usr/local/portage dir
groweth......

Ah!
OK.

I'll test this out.
post back only if 
it fails.
