Read the web pages on cvsup, they're very informative (http://www.polstra.com/projects/freeware/CVSup/howsofast.html) but the upshot is that it does not replace everything all the time. It only replaces/updates/deletes what is needed to get things up to date. Also, check the date/time on your system. It seems to think that you sent this on the 101st day of February. -Bill To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
