'make release' requires that you have a local copy of the whole cvs repository. It then checks out a copy of the desired release from the repository in order to create the release. If you don't specify a tag cvsup will fetch the whole repository for you (currently at some 1.5GB). If you specify a tag you will get only the sources with that tag, which is all that is needed for a normal buildworld. (The normal source tree is about 300MB in size.) -- <Insert your favourite quote here.> Erik Trulsson ertr1013@student.uu.se
