What is does is create all the directories that have ever existed in the ports tree and update them to HEAD state. After that, it goes through the whole tree again, pruning empty directories, that is, those that were created in the past but no longer contain any files in HEAD. It is completely normal for that to take considerable time and do considerable I/O, that's not a stall. The ports tree is a big beast. By the way, ports/xmris never made any sense, it was an accidental bogus commit as you can see here: http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/ports/xmris/Attic/Makefile It just happens to be the (alphabetically) last directory below ports, after which the pruning starts. Did you try *using* your checkout? I don't see why it shouldn't work. > ----------------------------- > Write failed: Broken pipe That is slightly strange, not sure what is going on here. But at the worst, that might cause some empty directories being left in your tree, which likely won't hurt. Can you please show the result of: find /usr/ports -name pobj -prune -o -type d -empty -print Yours, Ingo
