ian j hart <ianjhart@freeloader.freeserve.co.uk> types: > cd /usr/src;make update (CVS) pulls down RELENG_4 not RELENG_4_3. > There should at least be a warning in UPDATING. Shouldn't > this be a variable in make.conf? cvsup doesn't have an argument to set the tag. Since a single supfile can fetch multiple collections with different tags, such an argument doesn't make a lot of sense. Which is why make.conf uses the SUPFILE variable to specify a supfile to use. Either a new file should be added to /usr/share/examples/cvsup for this branch, or a comment should be added to the stable-supfile. > While I'm on the subject, different output for uname -a would > be _really_ useful (4.3-SECURITY?). How else can you tell you > have RELENG_4_3? I think having a name for it would be a good idea in general. For that new example supfile for example. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
