Giorgios, I did look at UPDATING and it doesn't mention anything as mundane as what versions you've downloaded. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ray Kohler" To: "Jeff Shevlen" ; Sent: Wednesday, January 30, 2002 5:42 PM Subject: Re: CVSup release info : On Wednesday 30 January 2002 11:32 pm, Jeff Shevlen wrote: : > Hi, : > : > I have been running cvsup and I'm not sure if I've been : > collecting the 4.4 sources or the 4.5 sources. : > : > I have two questions: : > (1) Is there a simple way to determine what version of the : > sources you've downloaded after the fact?

Hope you've had fun on the : bleeding edge. ;) Change the first *default tag=. line to read : *default tag=RELENG_4 and you'll get 4.X-stable sources, where X is : always the latest number out. Don't change the other tag, ports and : doc need to get current versions as there are no other versions. IF : you want 4.5-release and not -stable, make it RELENG_4_5_0_RELEASE. : : -- : Ray Kohler : "There are two ways of disliking poetry; one way is to dislike it, : the : other is to read Pope." : -- Oscar Wilde : To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
