Read the handbook section on cvsup and making world. Your supfile should reference RELENG_4_7 instead of RELENG_4. RELENG_4_7 is just the security/critical updates for 4.7, while RELENG_4 is all updates/improvements to the 4.X branch. Once you've cvsupped with that tag, use the instructions in the handbook to update all your sources. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
