I usually sup using the -o flag
i.e.
sup -eo
-o Checks all files in the collection for changes, instead of just the
new ones. (The old supfile option also does this.) For example, if a
file has been deleted in the clients collection, but still exists in
the server's collection then it will be replaced in the client's col-
lection. Normally, the sup program only upgrades files that have
changed on the repository since the last time an upgrade was per-
formed.

Subj: Sup "hell"
I created the following sup pool:
jasper:devbld> cd /usr/sde/lib/supfiles
jasper:devbld> fgrep open3d_alcor_pool coll.dir
open3d_alcor_pool=/alpha_back4/feb27G_V26_SSB_pvgopt_clients
(/alpha_back4/feb27G_V26_SSB_pvgopt_clients contains a build tree and there
is a sup/open3d_alcor_pool/host defining the list of host and there is a
sup/open3d_alcor_pool/list file defining what is to be sup'ed. The list
file was taken from another working sup tree)
I created a supconfigfile which contained the following:
jasper:devbld> cd ~/sup
jasper:devbld> fgrep open3d_alcor_pool supfile
open3d_alcor_pool host=ode2.eng.pko.dec.com base=/usr/projects/x11/open3d/adm pr
efix=/alpha_backF/martin_open3d_alcor_pool
Then I performed the sup
jasper:devbld> sup supfile open3d_alcor_pool
The first time that I ran sup it created /alpha_backF/martin_open2d_alcor_pool
with all of the correct sources that I expexted.
A week or so later I deleted /alpha_backF/martin_open2d_alcor_pool and
invoked sup again: As expected, since the directory martin_open3d_alcor_pool
did not exist, sup aborted. After creating martin_open3d_alcor_pool sup
ran fine, no errors, BUT the directory martin_open3d_alcor_pool WAS EMPTY!!!!.
This made no sense! I am guessing that the files in
base=/usr/projects/x11/open3d/adm/open3d_alcor_pool are tracking timestamps?
Is this so?
I then modified my supconfigfile so that base was set to the actual directory
of the build tree(/alpha_back4/feb27G_V26_SSB_pvgopt_clients).
fgrep open3d_alcor_pool supfile
open3d_alcor_pool host=ode2.eng.pko.dec.com base=/alpha_back4/feb27G_V26_SSB_pvg
opt_clients prefix=/alpha_backF/martin_open3d_alcor_pool
Now sup supfile open3d_alcor_pool works and /alpha_backF/martin_open3d_alcor_pool
is updated as it should be.
At about this time, I mailed my supfile entry to Ken Miller so that he could
sup these files. Ken was not able to get sup to work correctly. Sup kept
aborting with error messages stating that the host did not have access
to the sup pool or the like.
Finally, I made a tar file of the tree that I had sup'ed and ftp'ed it to
Ken..
Now I need to create another sup pool so that Ken can get some new code.
I had added an entry to /usr/sde/lib/supfile/coll.dir to define the pool and
it's location:
jasper:devbld> fgrep current_open3d_ffb_pool *
coll.dir:current_open3d_ffb_pool base=/alpha_backS/apr05G_V26_SSB_ev4_ffbopt
I have also move the host/list files needed into the new sup directory. These
files came from the open3d_alcor_pool previously mentioned.
jasper:devbld>ls /alpha_backS/apr05G_V26_SSB_ev4_ffbopt/sup/current_open3d_ffb_pool
host list
I also create a supconfigfile for this sup pool:
jasper:devbld> cat current_open3d_ffb_pool
current_open3d_ffb_pool base=/alpha_backS/apr05G_V26_SSB_ev4_ffbopt host=ode2.en
g.pko.dec.com prefix=/alpha_backT/martins_ffb
Then I tried to sup:
jasper:devbld> !sup
sup current_open3d_ffb_pool current_open3d_ffb_pool
SUP 8.200 (ODE-II) for file current_open3d_ffb_pool at Apr 10 18:51:37
SUP: SCM GOAWAY Can't chdir to base directory base=/alpha_backS/apr05G_V26_SSB_e
v4_ffbopt
SUP: Error reading setup reply from file server
SUP: Upgrade of current_open3d_ffb_pool aborted at Mon Apr 10 18:51:37 1995
Now, I am at a loss as to how proceed. I checked both the machine I am on
and the machine that the supserver runs on; they can get to
/alpha_backS/apr05G_V26_SSB_ev4_ffbopt
Can someone help?
