Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG G'day -- I have a fast connection at the office, a miserably slow modem line at home, and a laptop in between. I have a complete source tree which I sucked down at work and brought home on the laptop, and want to use it to maintain a FBSD box at home. I plan to use CVSup to maintain the tree at home via the modem. This will only be feasible if the weekly volume of traffic via CVSup is reasonable (a couple of MB or so). I realize this is unpredictable, but how much traffic is typical, once my tree is up to date? I also have a (probably stupid) question. I don't know how to find out, in advance of the cvs checkout, what release tags are available at that moment, if the latest has changed. Greg's text gives instructions for this, but it apparently presumes that I have access to Makefile in src. I have that now, having downloaded CURRENT, but surely there's a way to check this before the download?
