OOch :)) I meant the book from Mr Lehey but I > do not like this chapter in handbook too :)). Well, I don't like some things either. For instance the fact that Greg's book costs a literally doubled sum here in Greece. But I did find it helpful, some times even fun to read. My intelligence should not be assumed to be de facto higher than anyone else's. Therefore, I will take my chances that you will understand the whole thing next time you read it. Not everyone is a developer that graps CVS concepts easily. Even less people have worked with releases, etc. It is, then, understandable that some things can seem complicated, at first. But you can try reading the supfile I posted, and see how it fits together with what you have read so far. Soon, you'll be writing your own supfiles, usually making use of /usr/share/examples/cvsup/*-supfile as templates.
