"The attic" refers to CVS attic: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/ the things with "(in the Attic)" next to them are no longer in the tree, but are in the cvs archive. you can still get them, however most likely eventually they will become "stale" and not compile on a -current system. note to yourself, logging cvsup activity is a good thing, and if you are trully interested in such things you should subscribe to the cvs-freebsd mailing lists, or search them. hope this helps. -Alfred > > Thanks, > --Pat. > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
