I could even attempt to cover both bases with cd /usr mv src src-csup mkdir src and be ready to go with svn. But since I could run csup again if needed/desired, this might be overkill, unless I want to compare the file formats. It looks like it would be easier to keep track of revision number with svn than with csup. If svn is going to be the main tool for keeping up to date with source, then subversion ought to become part of the base system. I might some day want to try 10-current (HEAD) on a different partition, then csup will not work at all to get the source. Tom
