I always cvsup the entire repo rather than just a checkout of src and then use cvs to checkout /usr/src from my repo on all my boxes. As long as the changes are simple, cvs will merge changes in w/o any major problems. For bigger projects I have been using branches in the FreeBSD p4 depot to maintain changes for the past few years. p4 does a much better job than CVS of mergning in changes from HEAD into my work branches as well as letting me merge things between work branches. -- John Baldwin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve" = http://www.FreeBSD.org _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
