sources version file?
ive searched the archives over the past 2 weeks or so unsuccessfully for this tidbit, which i have seen mentioned here before. so, i re-ask: what is the path/filename of the sources file that says what version of the cvs sources have been downloaded? thanks, jonathan ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

In CVS each file has its owwn revision number. Thus, there is no tree-wide version number. In general, you can refer to the date of the last commit you have updated to. This is not so easy or useful for mixed version trees, where you have all the commits up to, for instance, date A but have manually applied the patch B to the tree (from another date, B). Why do you want to find out this tree-wise revision? Perhaps there is some other way to obtain the information you are after... - Giorgos ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Do you mean After I have cvsup'ed /usr/src, how can I tell what version of FreeBSD is there? If so, the answer is I don't know, but I'm sure someone will, but that question makes sense, whereas your current one doesn't really, as Giorgos has explained. hth, --Alex ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
