I've just started tracking -STABLE and the timestamp in my checkout file translates to Tue Sep 28 23:13:34 BST 1999. This is the time I started (or finished?) cvsup'ing. How can this be related to the exact version of all the sources that were downloaded, especially as I use a UK mirror and not the main site? I've seen people on the lists use descriptions like "3.3-STABLE (19991003 snap)". What I'm getting at is if I were to find something "broken" after cvsup'ing how does the date in the checkout file help identify the version of each (relevant) source file? > -- > Christian "naddy" Weisgerber naddy@mips.rhein-neckar.de > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message -- STATE-OF-THE-ART: Any computer you can't afford.
