Do not, under any circumstances, attempt to upgrade +the files in this directory via patches and a cvs commit. + +To upgrade to a newer version of tcpdump, when it is available: + 1. Unpack the new version into an empty directory. + [Do not make ANY changes to the files.] + + 2. Use the command: + cvs import -m 'Virgin import of LBL tcpdump v<version>' \ + -I linux-include src/contrib/tcpdump LBL v<version> + + For example, to do the import of version 3.2.1, I typed: + cvs import -m 'Virgin import of LBL tcpdump v3.2.1' \ + -I linux-include src/contrib/tcpdump LBL v3_2_1 + + 3. Follow the instructions printed out in step 2 to resolve any + conflicts between local FreeBSD changes and the newer version. + +Do not, under any circumstances, deviate from this procedure. + +To make local changes to tcpdump, simply patch and commit to the main +branch (aka HEAD). Never make local changes on the LBL branch. + +All local changes should be submitted to "tcpdump@ee.lbl.gov" for +inclusion in the next vendor release. + +pst@freebsd.org - 19 Aug 1996 |
