Understand the 'bets are off..' part, but thought you meant the problem came about in that a true HEAD tag would draw 8-CURRENT, not latest 7_. ..At least with the supfile used here of: *default tag=. *default-host=cvsup.jp.freebd.org *default release=cvs *default delete use-rel-suffic It so seems.... RELENG_7 tag OTOH, seems to have been working 'adaptively' for the 7- thoughout the recent naming changes.. Side issue - but why not rename (or link): (HEAD ==> -WHIPS (Work Hopefully In Progress Soon) - to clarify what one might expect - and/or satisfy the masochists among us... (my buildworld having just barfed a few minutes ago in a way I should have anticipated....) ;-) Bill
