Do you think FreeBSD release builders may > be using that to assemble 5.0 src/ ? P4 is an abbreviation for Perforce. It's a commercial source code control system used by some of the FreeBSD developers for side projects. For various reasons, we used this to help us manage 5.0-DP1 and 5.0-DP2. All of the release candidate snapshots and official releases are assembled out of CVS. The official repository for FreeBSD continues to be CVS.

Once again, 5.0-RC2 didn't have a darn thing to do with P4. I'm also unaware of any "other RC2 changes". > Repeat Question for release engineers please: > What is the cvs syntax, or where is > the date documented in cvs/ , to extract RC2 src/ ? > when cvs/ tree is local it's unattractive to need to ftp either ISOs, or > ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/5.0-RC2/src/ I wasn't involved with 5.0-RC2 (being on vacation at the time), but try a date tag corresponding to 18 December 2002, 00:01 PST.

Disk #1 should have various compressed subtrees of src/ compressed (for use by sysinstall). Those should work well. What Terry may be referring to is the fact that for full releases, disk #2 usually contains a compressed copy of the CVS repository.
