Which manpage? cvsup(1) says, Default settings may be specified in lines whose collection name is *default. Such defaults will apply to subsequent lines in the supfile. Multiple *default lines may be present. New values augment or override any defaults specified earlier in the supfile. Values specified explic- itly for a collection override any default values. > So are lines below the last collection line (i.e. 'src-all') ignored? No. Anyway, if there even is a bug somewhere, it is a ports, cvsupit or cvsup, issue. -- Crist J.
