Does anybody know if earlier >versions are accessible via cvsup? CVSup just uses CVS tags so you can pull down the code associated with any tag in the repository. The /usr/ncvs repository includes all the FreeBSD releases back to RELEASE_2_0 (and prior 2.x development). A quick way to check the tags that are available would be to look at http://cvsweb.freebsd.org/src/ and look at the "show only tag" pull- down at the bottom of the page. As part of the BSD vs AT&T settlement, all the *BSD releases had to move to the 4.4BSD/lite distribution. In the case of FreeBSD, 1.x was "encumbered" and had to be expunged from the repository. FreeBSD 2.x was developed from 4.4BSD/lite in a separate CVS repository (hence the 'n'). Since SCO (in a previous incarnation) released the old Unix source code, the FreeBSD 1.x repository could probably now be legally made available. A number of FreeBSD old-timers have admitted to still having copies of the 1.x repository but I don't know that anyone has put it up on the WEB. (Even if the FreeBSD project doesn't want to put it up, I suspect The Unix Historical Society would be happy to add it to their archives). Peter
