Repeat Question for release engineers please: What is the cvs syntax, or where is the date documented in cvs/ , to extract RC2 src/ ? when cvs/ tree is local it's unattractive to need to ftp either ISOs, or ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/5.0-RC2/src/ > My personal approach would be to use the souce tree from disk #2 > (if one was made for the 5.0-RC2 distributions) 5.0-RC2-i386-disc1.iso contains 75M of compressed src/ 5.0-RC2-i386-disc2.iso /usr/src is empty.
