You can grab it at http://mu.org/~mux/csup.html. This last snapshot finally brings in support for the refuse files, as well as the -i and -A options. At this point, csup is pretty much feature complete as far as checkout mode is concerned. To sum things up, besides CVS mode, the only features missing are : - Authentication (rarely used, plus someone has a patch for this), - Executes (shell commands sent by the server, even more rarely used), - The -k and -d options and the "destDir" parameters that are more debugging features than real features, - An Xaw3d GUI (just kidding). So I think it is now time to import csup in FreeBSD base system so that our users finally have a way to update their sources with a bare install, and am requesting comments/opinions/problem reports on the matter as long as it doesn't degenerate into a bikeshed. For those interested in CVS mode, I'll now start working on this soon, but cannot guarantee that I'll ever have it finished. I've been unemployed for a few months now which allowed me to get this far, but I will soon need to get a new job for obvious reasons. If you would like to see CVS mode happening and can spare some money, please consider making a donation to my Paypal account (id mux@FreeBSD.org). I take advantage of this mail to thank Garance Drosehn that has generously donated me some money to help me on this task already. Cheers, Maxime
