It's already displayed in the Handbook (which I admit isn't updated yet for RELENG_3). > (Will you kill me if I list the RELENG_* tags in > examples/cvsup/README?) No, I won't kill you. You're too far away, and I hate traveling. :-) Put it in there if you want to. But it's just another blasted thing to maintain, and I bet you it won't make any noticeable difference. > It might be a good idea to put it even in the -current supfile, as it > seems people modify that and don't see the warning in the -stable > supfile about not using tags outside of src. I suppose. :-( I need to work out an easy-to-maintain way for CVSup to tell you what the valid tags are for a given collection. It should refuse to do an update if you specify an unknown tag, unless you twist its arm. John --- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
