Dear Sean Noonan, you might wish to have a look at the FAQs found at http://www.polstra.com ; in particular, you might want to pay attention to the list=3Dcvs:RELENG considerations. > My Questions: > 1.

Have you had a look at Nik Clayton's tutorial ? It is also found in the handbook. Please don't forget to use mergemaster(8) ! . > 4. How to fix?? Sorry, at the moment I have no idea from what I see. If you haven't downloaded the sources correctly (which I suspect), you shall have to correct your supfile and repeat the entire process. Before doing this, please read Polstra's FAQs *carefully* as well as the handbook :-) You will be able to determine yourself which recipes to apply (eg delete your 3.3 sources and reinstall them, then cvsup ? Or simply delete your checkouts and then cvsup ? And so on) In the mailing archives, you will find interesting information about various issues, including mergemaster(8), and the importance of using mergemaster --was: The Importance of Being Earnest ;-)) In fact, after reading a pile of documentation, I have recently cvsupped to -stable, and I will make the world in a while myself, adding to your woes :-) > TIA, > -Sean Noonan > noonans@home.com Please note: my_fake_antispam_domain =3D=3D=3D> neomedia.it to reply.
