I'm not in any way FreeBSD dev, but looks like yes, it goes away. In fact last time I fetched sources using cvsup they were outdated and my understanding is that cvsup was getting the files from cvs repo. > I ask because I maintain a number of > local CVS repositories of code for which I am the only > developer/maintainer.

Subversion has a tool to automatically convert cvs repos to subversion. I believe that's how FreeBSD was converted. --=20 Best regards, Derek mailto:takeda@takeda.tk Why doesn't DOS ever say "EXCELLENT command or filename!"
