Description Johannes Weiner 2005-02-24 18:10:18 UTC 
CVSUP seems to ignore file chflags. I set a schg flag on a file to protect from being updated by cvsup, but the file still gets updated.
I'm aware of the refuse system for cvsup now, but I think this is a security bug anyway.

[Bossmc can confirm and reproduce this also]

How-To-Repeat: echo foo > /usr/src/sys/bar
chflags schg /usr/src/sys/bar

then run cvsup for src-all with option 'delete' and /usr/src/sys/bar will be deleted.

Sorry, but this behavior is by design.  CVSup is supposed to mirror 
a file tree as accurately as possible, and if it has to override the 
file flags to accomplish that then it will.  There should probably 
be an option to honor the file flags, but I'm not adding new 
features to CVSup these days.
