Appended is the one I'm using: # :src-base release=current host=sup.FreeBSD.org hostbase=/home base=/home prefix=/home/src delete old compress use-rel-suffix I think this won't do it--I get either current or stable with the sup file. What I was interested in was 2.2-SNAP (May 1) and it seems this can't be done with sup. So, is there some other way to do it? Annelise
