I was surprised to notice this fact last night, when I was trying to check out the doc/ tree. Seems that anoncvs.freebsd.org does not allow me to connect for a checkout. Apart form using CVSup to fetch the sources in the form produced by % cvs -d anoncvs@anoncvs.freebsd.org:/cvs export doc does any good soul out there know how I can use anoncvs to selectively check out part of the sources? What I want to do is to mirror part of the CVS repository. My supfiel contained: * default release=cvs tag=. Perhaps, I should have used it without tag=. in order to get the files from a checkout and not an export of the CVS repository? -- Giorgos Keramidas, < keramida @ ceid . upatras . gr > "What we have to learn to do, we learn by doing."
