If you add a revision in the given field you = will only see revs show up that are older than that. >=20 The difference is my suggestion shows examples of builds that completed and produced world and kernel materials. (But looking around is messier. At least https://artifact.ci.freebsd.org/snapshot/head/ shows dates = too.) Plus, he might at times be able to avoid building by using the *.txz files to advantage. I use https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/ as well, but not to directly find examples that built or materials that avoid my needing to build. It can help decide what to explore under https://artifact.ci.freebsd.org/snapshot/head/ when such material are relevant. Unfortunately for Bob P., no suggestion can meet his full criteria. So he has several suggestions to potentially pick from or to use in combination. >>=20 >> . . . >=20 =3D=3D=3D Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com ( dsl-only.net went away in early 2018-Mar)
