How do developers usually keep their kernel sources in sync with the > main Central Kernel source? Do we use CVS or Subversion for this? Use a cvsup file along these lines: =2D-- *default host=3Dcvsup.XXX.FreeBSD.org *default base=3D/home/YYYY/.cvsupdb *default prefix=3D/home/YYYY/fcvs *default release=3Dcvs *default delete use-rel-suffix *default compress src-all ports-all doc-all www cvsroot-all =2D-- After that "cvs -d /home/YYYY/fcvs co src" will get you up and running. =20 Ready to do "cvs diff -u" to check for the local changes you made etc. As a side note: If you can't figure out simple questions like this by=20 your self, you will have a hard time to do actual development. We=20 provide a large amount of documentation, but you must use it yourself! =2D-=20 /"\ Best regards, | mlaier@freebsd.org \ / Max Laier | ICQ #67774661 X http://pf4freebsd.love2party.net/ | mlaier@EFnet / \ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | Against HTML Mail and News --nextPart19896020.cqpAyk44Mp Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBF9p9UXyyEoT62BG0RAh/NAJwN1J6wZeSeYHr4mUo8PlDk9vmOMACfSSl5 DV5jiEJpx6dPTU3x+tJwVp4= =zlJI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart19896020.cqpAyk44Mp--
