Hi Mike, > Is buildtool able to use a checked out working copy to build from? It is, if one adjusts the main config (changes the "cvs-sourceforge" server setting in conf/sources.cfg to use the "file" type, which will use the local filesystem rather than CVS). But wether that will work to build an old release is something I don't know (I never needed to do that - buildtool was originally created to make life easier for the people working on Bering-uClibc - and those tend to work on HEAD, rather than anything else). It could probably be made to be something else as well, but that will require at least some testing, possibly some coding (the Bering uClibc team has a couple of ideas we'll try as soon as there's time - but until we've actually tried it, everything I say here is pure speculation, because nobody has done that so far). Again, if anybody wants to for himself, he's more than welcome to. My approach would be:
* Check out src/bering-uclibc/buildtool for the release branch of 2.4.1 * check out src/bering-uclibc/apps for the release branch of 2.4.1 * modify cvs-sourceforge use the "file" target for server cvs-sourceforge and make it point to the cvs checkout of src/bering-uclibc/apps made above * hope that we didn't forget to remove the cvs-sourceforge server specification in any of the buildtool.cfg files (and that none of the sources point to cvs-devel or some other site that doesn't use proper versioning - the latter is unlikely, but possible). > Isn't > building from checked out working copies best?

That's why Arne added support for using CVSExt to buildtool, so one can download the sources using one's developer account (and with that, it is rather painless).
