Ah, ok I couldn't remember that, in that case it could be argued that it is OK. I was just a bit tired of the some excessive crossposting done some times.

To do the release you need a copy of the FreeBSD CVS repository which contain the information about every change since FreeBSD started in CVS. This is not real source files but RCS files with the changes to the source files. After you have the CVS tree in /home/ncvs you can check out any version of FreeBSD (e.g. 4.7) in your local /usr/src from /home/ncvs. Omitting tag=3Dsomething does the difference between getting a FreeBSD source tree and getting the CVS tree. Btw. to get -CURRENT / 5.x you would set the cvsup config line to (AFAIR) : default release=3Dcvs tag=3D. I would suggest reading a bit about CVS e.g. looking at "The CVS book" which has (the relevant) parts online at http://cvsbook.red-bean.com/ . Btw. ncvs is rather large : [simon@trillian:~] du -sch /data/mirror/freebsd/ncvs 1.8G /data/mirror/freebsd/ncvs --=20 Simon L.
