Hi, Situation - I have a machine that I use to build the base system for others. I'd like to be able to have multiple copies of /usr/src for different releases - in particular, RELENG_5_3 and RELENG_5_4. Rather than just changing my RELENG in the supfile and blowing away the tree each time I thought I could maintain multiple source trees. One trivial way that came to mind would be to copy /usr/src to /usr/RELENG_5_3 and /usr/RELENG_5_4 and replace /usr/src with a symlink that points to the one I'm using at the time - I don't know if this makes perfect sense, it's just an idea :) Or should I be doing this properly and checking out a complete CVS tree? thanks, -- Joel Hatton -- Security Analyst | Hotline: +61 7 3365 4417 AusCERT - Australia's national CERT | Fax: +61 7 3365 7031 The University of Queensland | WWW: www.auscert.org.au Qld 4072 Australia | Email: auscert@auscert.org.au
