Using dates is certainly a possibility, but you have to be a bit careful about the date format. CVSup will accept dates of the format: YYYY.mm.dd.HH.MM.SS Where: YYYY = year mm = month dd = month day [01..28, 01..30 or 00..31, depending on the month] HH = hours MM = minutes SS = seconds The format is also described in the manpage of cvsup: # date=[cc]yy.mm.dd.hh.mm.ss # This specifies a date that should be used to select the # revisions that are checked out from the CVS repository. The # client will receive the revisions that were in effect at the # specified date and time. # # At present, the date format is inflexible. All 17 or 19 # characters must be specified, exactly as shown. For the years # 2000 and beyond, specify the century cc. For earlier years, # specify only the last two digits yy. Dates and times are # considered to be GMT. The default date is `.', which means # ``as late as possible''. Thus, you can update to a particular date *within* the RELENG_4 branch, by using both a tag=RELENG_4 and a date=2007.01.05.22.00.00 :) Please note that the dates specified in date=YY.mm.dd.HH.MM.SS format are in UTC, so if you are living in a different timezone, some adjustments may be necessary. - Giorgos _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
