OK, and thanks by the way, but let's say it's a patch which involves several ports as part of a metaport, like xcfe4? Someone else recommended just rm -rf all the affected branches and then cvsup'ping, which I had been doing, more or less, but it seemed to me like that was sort of sloppy (but maybe there isn't a graceful way to do this). I was just wondering if there was anything that was the equivalent of "unpatch." - jt _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
