I used CVSUP in the previous 4.2 box but it proved to be far more trouble than it was worth so I'm far from convinced that its a good thing. It should be stated however that I'm talking about relatively minimal command line systems that don't run much more than apache / sendmail / cucipop / imap & ntp. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kruppa, Peter Ulrich" To: "Doug Young" Cc: "Eric Colburn" ; Sent: Wednesday, March 21, 2001 5:44 PM Subject: Re: 4.3 FreeBSD > > On Wed, 21 Mar 2001, Doug Young wrote: > > > Date: Wed, 21 Mar 2001 08:26:35 +1000 > > > > Isn't 4.3 only 4 days away ??
