I did the 3.0-CURRENT --> 3.0-STABLE transition the last weekend without _any_ problem. Usually I cvsup every night, but I disabled this process just before the branch. One day after the branch I restarted the cvsup procedure, this time tracking RELENG_3. I "made the world" on last Saturday and everything worked fine [as usual :-)]. > If someone could give me some guidelines on how to get going on the > above described track or point me to a webpage/document or anything else > that describes what to do I'd be eternally grateful.

If you "made the world" before, simply repeat the procedure. Remember that there is an excellent tutorial written by Nik Clayton. -- JMA ----------------------------------------------------------------------- José Mª Alcaide | mailto:j...@we.lc.ehu.es Universidad del País Vasco | http://www.we.lc.ehu.es/~jose Dpto. de Electricidad y Electrónica | Facultad de Ciencias - Campus de Lejona | Tel.: +34-946012479 48940 Lejona (Vizcaya) - SPAIN | Fax: +34-944858139 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- "Go ahead... make my day." - H.
