Did you really wait until it finished, or did you get impatient and kill it? The first time you check out using a new tag, it goes searching through every file looking for the tag to make sure it's valid. Then it adds the tag to ${CVSROOT}/CVSROOT/val-tags and works quickly thereafter. I don't know why it doesn't find the tag sooner than it does. I have a suspicion that it's searching the whole repository including the ports tree, which does not contain that tag. John -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
