I've modified the subject on your question, as I suspect this is not really an issue of "cvs" per se. It's really a question on how softupdates moved into the standard system. This has worked for me on 4.x-stable, but maybe something isn't quite right for people trying to do this with 3.x-stable. My hope is that someone who knows more about softupdates will see this subject and give you an actually useful reply :-) --- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or drosih@rpi.edu Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
