More general advice about "cvs [update aborted]... No such file
or directory". Also invent a "Cause:" keyword for use in "Symptom:/Cause:/Fix" sections. Also add a note near the top of the file saying that there are several sections marked by "^^^".

|

Symptom:Update build fails in src/tools/gcc complaining that a variable
|
||||
(e.g. CPPFLAGS) has changed since the previous run.
|
||||
Fix: Run "nbmake-${ARCH} clean" in src/tools/gcc or do a clean build.

Symptom:cvs [update aborted]: cannot open directory /cvsroot/src/...:
|
||||
No such file or directory.
|
||||
Cause: If a directory is created by mistake, then it is sometimes
|
||||
deleted from the CVS repository using administrative commands
|
||||
that bypass the normal cvs access controls. If your cvs working tree
|
||||
contains references to a directory that has been deleted on the
|
||||
server in this way, then "cvs update" reports this error.
|
||||
Fix: Recursively delete the affected directory from your working tree
|
||||
and try the update again.
