I cvsup'd src-all without a tag= in the file and got all the revisions (installed it into a staging area). It'll be a handy reference. Thanks again all for taking time to field my newbe questions (the archives are sooo big). I also cvsup'd the port-all (tag=.) and src-all (tag=RELENG_4), rebuilt everything according to the instructions and it all works great. Using the cvsup-mirror is next on my list :-) Has anyone reported security problems/vulnerabilities running the cvsup daemon? --Richard On 2003.06.14 08:12 ian j hart wrote: > On Saturday 14 June 2003 3:09 am, Richard Schilling wrote: > > As for /usr/local/etc/cvsup, I did create it because the > documentation > > used that directory in the examples for CVSup's status files.
