A couple of CVS related queries, if I could impose upon you all... I'm trying to hack together a kludgey tree of past FreeBSD releases. Presumably, I can just grab the sources for each release and piece it together from them? If so, I presume I would *import* each release using a tag similar to X.X-RELEASE? Then, to *extract* the sources pertinent to a particular release, I would select only those files associated with that tag? If, however, I merely did a "checkout", I would end up with the most recent versions of *all* files, correct? Even those no longer present in "the most recent" X.X-RELEASE?? Also, is is possible to glue CVS around an existing RCS tree? I imagine I would NOT be able to reconstruct the "log" for that tree, though?? Again, sorry for the "bother" but every time I think I understand CVS, it finds some new way of confusing me (I suspect CONCURRENT is *not* what the "C" stands for... :-( Thanks! --don
