All I am interested in is the latest version of the docs so having a cvs repository around only for this purpose would be a little overdone. The whole point is that CVSup (and probably cvs with the right options) will delete the above mentioned files while it (under all circumstances) should not delete them. The files are no longer part of the repo but part of the build now. But because these files are still listed "dead" (in Attic) CVSup will delete them. Possible solutions that come to mind: 1. Rename each file to something that doesn't represent a dead file. (As mentioned in my first message) 2. Remove the files from Attic, the files will probably never "relive" again (I am not a cvs-meister but this should be possible). -ago To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
