Since the relevant mirror sites all update themselves hourly from freefall, that's unlikely. You would have to run cvsup twice in an hour for it to happen. It could still happen if you lost the connection and then reconnected to a different server. But even then the damage would be fairly small. Any changes that existed on the first server but not on the second server would be taken away. But normally, not much happens in an hour in the FreeBSD repository. And those changes that were removed would come back again on your next update. John --- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
