(fwd) Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-current@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk But what is the difference between sup and cvs? Is cvs used only to retain revision information? Or can it be used as a way to update the sources as sup does? Also, has anyone seen sup start totally retrieving a tree you already have. I ran it today off of sup.freebsd.org, and it started to redownload the entire gnu-current tree, the /usr/sup directory is intact, my standard-supfile is fine, and the last.current is dated februrary 3rd, why would it do this? Any help appreciated. Chris Layne, coredump@nervosa.com.
