Hello Odhiambo, Errare humanum, perseverare autem**... :-)) Seriously, though, the best piece of advice I have ever heard of is the following: 1) cvsup and update a test machine; 2) test... the test machine for a week or so. N.B. the updating process itself, in this connection, is a *minor* issue. Rather, it is important (even essential) that you should "squeeze" your test machine, in order to examine/check/scrutinize its actual stability/functionality/etc. before committing -- if I may say so -- the changes to your production machines. Best regards, Salvo **reference to [FreeBSD's] daemon(s) is to be considered as purely coincidental.
