I've done this many times before. I modifed /etc/make.conf with the appropriate SUP_* lines, cd to /usr/src and make update. It ended up updating /usr/src to -STABLE. I read /usr/share/examples/cvsup/README and it mentioned using /usr/share/examples/cvsup/standard-supfile to cvsup to -current. That's what I was doing. I examine /usr/share/examples/cvsup/standard-supfile and it specified a release tag=RELENG_4! Wrong. I did some checking of CVS and it looks like a change was made in what standard-supfile does. >How-To-Repeat: Just read /usr/share/examples/cvsup/README on a 4.5 system. Then cvsup with standard-supfile and you won't get -current. >Fix: Several options. 1) Change the README. 2) It appears standard-supfle and stable-supfile are the same (or nearly so). Do we need both? 3) Introduce a new file current-supfile to cvsup to -current and check it into RELENG_4 branch (and MAIN). At any rate, #1 is essential.
