Well, it did exist, but I just deleted it and re-synced the repository tree by cvsup. No CVSROOT/val-tags. Apparently this file was created locally. > Add the following as root: > RELENG_3_2_0_RELEASE y I'm somewhat confused that I should need to manually declare all the tags that are in use throughout the repository. That doesn't make sense. > The tag you specified does not exist. CVSweb says otherwise. This tag does exist in the ports tree, which is tagged independently from the main source. (The example wasn't random. I really want to extract the mpg123 port as it was shipped with 3.2R, and there must be a better way than getting it file by file out of CVSweb.) -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber naddy@mips.inka.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
