It appears you cvsup a current tree, and therefore don't have a CVS repository, so you just tell cvsup to get a copy of source which is further back. I haven't done it, but adding 'date=98.03.12.00.00' to your cvsup file and rerunning cvsup on this config file should do it.. (Every else seemed to assume you havea a CVS repo) --------------------------------------------------------------------- |Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software | |http://www.gsoft.com.au | |The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to| |choose from. -- Andrew Tanenbaum | --------------------------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
