Reply-to: ee@uncanny.net Date: Wed, 16 Apr 1997 12:36:30 -0700 From: Edward Elhauge Sender: owner-stable@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I am trying to switch from cvsuping the -stable and -current releases to cvsuping the CVS repository. So far so good? Now I've gone on to extract the -stable release using the command: cvs -Q checkout -r RELENG_2_1_7_RELEASE -d src-temp world When I then do a diff between the -stable directory and the directory I've created under src-temp I find several minor changes between the files in the two directory hierarchies. 1) My question is how to extract the -stable release from the CVS repository? 2) Also how do I know which tags exist in a repository? Right now I just examine a Makefile and take a look at the tags that exist in it. Is there a better way? -- Edward Elhauge | | "God not only plays dice, Lever Industries | ee@uncanny.net | He sometimes throws the dice where they San Francisco | | cannot be seen." -- Steven Hawkings
