I knew about cvsup and keep updated sometimes my source tree with cvsup but I do not know how to use cvs. So I installed rxvt and did a link xterm to xrvt to avoid the xterm bug. Could you someone please give me some hints about getting informations on hot to use cvs? The cvs infoes files are kinda obscure and cannot understand at all from them. thanks Rick May 1998, Matthew Hunt wrote: > On Mon, May 25, 1998 at 01:00:28PM +0200, bsd mailing lists wrote: > > > why does xterm behaves like this when a user quit the program?? > > A bug that has been fixed. > > flarn:~/FreeBSD/ports/x11/XFree86$ cvs log -r1.41 Makefile > > RCS file: /home/ncvs/ports/x11/XFree86/Makefile,v > Working file: Makefile > head: 1.41 > branch: > locks: strict > access list: > symbolic names: > RELEASE_2_2_6: 1.39 > RELEASE_2_2_5: 1.36 > RELEASE_2_2_1: 1.29 > RELEASE_2_2_2: 1.29 > XFree86_3_1: 1.1.1.1 > XFree86: 1.1.1 > keyword substitution: kv > total revisions: 42; selected revisions: 1 > description: > ---------------------------- > revision 1.41 > date: 1998/05/05 21:47:21; author: jmz; state: Exp; lines: +9 -1 > This is bugfix patch number 1 for XFree86 3.3.2.
