This must have been noticed before. http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook.html says: This handbook covers ... Release 2.2.2 http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook237.html#488 says: Use the cvsup program with <this supfile>. ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/src/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile has: # The following line is for 2.1-stable. If you want 2.2-stable, change # "RELENG_2_1_0" to "RELENG_2_2". *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_2_1_0 This isn't very helpful -- I didn't spot that, and have obviously been downgrading my machine, no wonder everything and its brother breaks on make world. I suggest fixing the supfile (who cares about 2_1_0?), or at the very least mentioning in handbook237.html#488 that you need to make this change. Regards, -- Martijn Koster, m.koster@pobox.com
