And let us not forget that CVS is aware of your timezone, so if John Dyson in America's Heartland says: cvs -q update -D"March 12, 1998" the actual tag will be offset from UTC by 6 hours, whereas if I do it here on PST, the tag will be offset from UTC by 8 hours. As a result we could be talking about different source code snapshots. cvs -q update -D"March 12, 1998 00:00 UTC" is a more precise specification, which is what I used and built a kernel from this morning. (Actually I also supplied -APd on my command line to cvs.) -Chris On Thu, 19 Mar 1998, John Polstra wrote: > Warning to everybody else: DON'T do this unless your usual supfile > already has a "tag" or "date" specification in it.
