RE: does cvsup replace/pull all files every time?
Thanks for all the help folks. Really apppreciate it. As it turned out - the makeworld took 5.5 hours. everythign went fine, except right at the end - MAKEDEV all has either not built a suitable keyboard driver, or mergemaster was not done properly. Now I have no keyboard, but do have a mouse pointer of sorts. Pressing keys interfers with the mouse activity - but can't type so can't access the system. So might start from scratch now I know what happens I know about the date/time thing. y2k in the ELM I'm using on the original server. cheers Robert > > Robert Chalmers wrote: > > > > I'm just wondering, being a first time user of cvsup, if every > time it's run > > it replaces or updates all the files, and downloads all the > files every time? > > Read the web pages on cvsup, they're very informative > (http://www.polstra.com/projects/freeware/CVSup/howsofast.html) but the > upshot is that it does not replace everything all the time.

See the cvsup FAQ on www.polstra.com, but basically it only sends the bits which have changed, unless that would mean more traffic than just sending the entire file. > also, I suppose it's impossible to cvsup to upgrade a 2.2-snap to 4.2 stable? It's quite possible, but again see the FAQ. Kris PGP signature
does cvsup replace/pull all files every time?
I'm just wondering, being a first time user of cvsup, if every time it's run it replaces or updates all the files, and downloads all the files every time? also, I suppose it's impossible to cvsup to upgrade a 2.2-snap to 4.2 stable?
