$FreeBSD: src/share/examples/cvsup/refuse.README,v 1.1.2.8 2003/06/13 22:35:48 trhodes Exp $ $DragonFly: src/share/examples/cvsup/Attic/refuse.README,v 1.2 2003/06/17 04:36:57 dillon Exp $ This describes the "refuse" file found in this directory. The explanation cannot be put inside the file itself because: COMMENTS ARE NOT ALLOWED IN refuse FILES! Each line of the refuse file contains one or more filename patterns separated by white space. Everything matched by a pattern will be left untouched by CVSup. If a pattern matches a directory, then everything beneath that directory will be left alone. You can copy "refuse" to your sup directory and add or remove whatever you like. The example supfiles in this directory set CVSup's base directory to "/usr". The sup directory is in the base directory; i.e., it is "/usr/sup". If you have changed your base directory, your sup directory is /path/to/base/sup. Use the following pattern if you have modified /usr/src/etc/sendmail/freebsd.mc to reflect your local configuration, and you do not want CVSup to overwrite it: src/etc/sendmail/freebsd.mc* If you are an English speaker and don't wish to receive the foreign-language documentation or ports, use the following patterns: doc/da_* doc/de_* doc/es_* doc/el_* doc/fr_* doc/it_* doc/ja_* doc/nl_* doc/no_* doc/pl_* doc/pt_* doc/ru_* doc/sr_* doc/zh_* ports/chinese ports/french ports/german ports/hebrew ports/hungarian ports/japanese ports/korean ports/portuguese ports/russian ports/ukrainian ports/vietnamese Use refuse files with care. Some parts of the src distribution depend on files in completely different parts. For more information about refuse files see cvsup(1), which is installed by the "cvsup" and "cvsup-bin" ports.
