hi all,
Iam very new to CVS...and i had to install CVS on Solaris 9. I downloaded the file,cvs-1.11.17-sol9-sparc-local.gz, from sunfreeware.com (assuming that its the right software for Solaris 9).
i used the followin steps to install cvs:
.....................................................................................................................................................
# gunzip cvs-1.11.17-sol9-sparc-local.gz
# pkgadd -d gcc-3.3.2-sol9-sparc-local
The following packages are available:
1 SMCcvs cvs
(sparc) 1.11.17
Select package(s) you wish to process (or 'all' to process
all packages). (default: all) [?,??,q]: (sparc) 1.11.17
ERROR: Entry does not match available menu selection. Enter the number
of the menu item you wish to select, or the token which is associated
with the menu item, or a partial string which uniquely identifies the
token for the menu item. Enter ?? to reprint the menu.
Select package(s) you wish to process (or 'all' to process
all packages). (default: all) [?,??,q]:
Processing package instance <SMCcvs> from </export/spare/chandran/cvs-1.11.17-sol9-sparc-local>

This appears to be an attempt to install the same architecture and
version of a package which is already installed. This installation
will attempt to overwrite this package.
