No way. Not if you use ranges: .Os FreeBSD 5.0+ .Os FreeBSD 2.2-3.x etc. You only set the version when you first add a new API or whatever (using +) and update it when you deprecate teh API or driver or whatever. However, this does have a large initial overhead in the form of one massive tree sweep. I would like for just the name to be present, however. > Ciao, > Sheldon. -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.baldwin.cx/~john/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
