Well, then I suppose that you should not use RELENG_4 as the default tag in your sup files, but RELENG_4_0_RELEASE. If you fear that this will select the rerolled 4.0-REL sources, you can specify in your supfile instead of a `tag' to use for checking out the sources, a `date', as in: *default date=2000.03.10.18.00.00 This will select the latest release of the sources, at 18:00, March 10, 2000. The manpage of cvsup explains in more detail how the `date' directive can be used to select specific revisions of the sources from the CVS repository. Unless the manpage of cvsup has not managed to confuse me behind any point of salvation, I think you can use both a *tag and *date, to checkout the sources of a specific date from a given branch, i.e.: *default tag=RELENG_4_0_RELEASE *default date=2000.03.10.18.00.00 Note that I haven't had time to test this yet. I will test it once I get online again, but I would advise backing up your /usr/src tree before playing with different *tag and *date's in your supfiles. - Giorgos Keramidas To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
