In your original post you said you wanted to "review changes/diffs". This will not allow you to do that because you only have a snapshot of the source. To put this another way, you have nothing to diff against. Also forgot to say that the simplest way to fetch a local copy of the repository is to install the cvsup-mirror port. Disable its cron job and run the update script whenever you need to. -- ian j hart Quoth the raven, bite me!

IIRC one of the recent releases had these files missing. A full system rebuild should fix this, see /usr/src/UPDATING -- ian j hart Quoth the raven, bite me!

I was speaking in terms of CVS tags, not of cvsup's tag=; cvsup's behavior with respect to tag= had already been described. -- brandon s allbery [openafs/solaris/japh/freebsd] [EMAIL PROTECTED] system administrator [linux/heimdal/too many hats] [EMAIL PROTECTED] electrical and computer engineering KF8NH carnegie mellon university [better check the oblivious first -ke6sls] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
