How about this idea: Everyone cvsups the bleeding edge RCS files. If you want to live dangerously, you check out the most recent version and take your chances with compilation failures. Those who want "stable-current" check out a "latest known good" version and compile that. latest-known-good-date is created with Jordan's build box / cookie collector scheme. When everything compiles more-or-less ok, the checkout time of that version is saved. When you sup you get a file that contains that time. "make world" does co -d`cat /usr/src/compile-version-timestamp` in all directories. supping the checked-out source gives you stable-current - which is simply a checkout of the latest known good version. (Have mercy on me if this is totally silly - I'm new to FreeBSD and I'm not even using current - yet.) ++sja
