From what I understand, this lets CVSUP take "ownership" of the source tree so that it can edit/delete at will when you actually go to the 2.2.2 or 2.2-stable release. Following that advice saved me hours of troubleshooting that which I don't understand (Thanks JDP!)... And if that is the correct way to do it, could it be added to the handbook entry about CVSUP? It would save everyone lots of headaches, I'm sure. Charles On Wed, 25 Jun 1997, Mike Tancsa wrote: > At 09:45 PM 6/25/97 -0400, Nathan Dorfman wrote: > >Hi!
