Hello,

I can't seem to find any documentation regarding the different directory
structures from the current (dev) CVS tree and the released structure.

In the releases, the source is in src/*

In the current (dev) CVS tree, the source is broken up into a few
directories:

example:
basesrc/*
syssrc/*

Does anyone know why this is done this way? Doesn't this confuse the
Makefiles?

Thanks for any help.

-Chris

Um, actually the layout is the same on both, release and -current:

"src" is just an alias to checkout basesrc, syssrc, gnusrc and whatnot.
You can do that for both release and -current, and shouldn't bother
to check out the parts of "src".

"cvs co src" is what you want. ;-)

I went ahead and just co'd the whole src tree. What I was trying to do was
checkout just the kernel and related items for a particular architecture. So I
was trying things like 'cvs co syssrc/sys/arch/powerpc'. This created a root
dir of syssrc instead of the traditional src dir. I guess if I do that in the
future, I can just rename it to src??

Thanks for the help, Hubert.

I'm not sure if renaming works.
Sure you get TRT with "cvs co src/sys".
