"1000" is recommended, but it is unlikely anything else is using a number that high. Any changes you check it, get this revision number. Can't remember, the environment variable to use... This method is still pretty rough. AFAIK, you still have to checkout your local changes after checking out the main branch. For the tiny changes I required, just using cvsup in check out mode, and maintaining a patch kit which I just re-apply after cvsup'ing saved a lot of time, and a lot of storage. I just can't build my own release. Tom To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
