Add "*default date=97.02.10.00.00.00" at the front of the cvsupfile. DON'T do this if you're getting the CVS repository -- do it only if you're getting the checked-out sources. I.e., don't do this unless your cvsupfile lines already contain "tag=.". If using "*default" gets you an error message, then you need to upgrade your CVSup to the current version (14.1.1). The "*default" feature was introduced in version 14.0. Well, you *should* upgrade, but if you don't want to then you can just add "date=97.02.10.00.00.00" on every line of your cvsupfile. PS - Please everybody _do_ upgrade. Some weird repository changes are coming soon (in connection with the $FreeBSD$ thing). If you're running an old version and have problems, well hey, I warned you at least a month ago already. :-) If you're running a CVSup server, you will _need_ to be running 14.1.1, or your server is likely to die from the coming repository hiccup. -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D.
