No one as reported any problems to me, and at least a few people have reported that it has worked for them. I agree with your view, but I am not sure what is appropriate for me to do at this point. I could just commit the "installworld_nk" and "UPDATING.64BTT" files to /usr/src, but it wouldn't surprise me if that caused a few people to scream at me. Also, as mentioned in the UPDATING.64BTT file, we need to have a binary-version of 'cvsup-without-gui' available, one which has been compiled on a 64-bit time_t system. I have one of those, so it's a matter of where should we put it for people who will need it. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu
