Here's the file: # This file specifies src files are to be uploaded. *default host=cvsup2.FreeBSD.org # *default tag=RELENG_5_1_0_RELEASE *default tag=. *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs delete use-rel-suffix compress *default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup src-all The documentation says tag=. will download the actual CVS directories so I can review changes/diffs, but I don't see them present in the code. Just the top level directory has it and it looks like it's for 4.X. Did I do something wrong with the cvsup file? Next question has to do with upgrading. I have 4.6 src installed, but I cvsup'd RELENG_5_1_0_RELEASE. Does jumping several releases/sub-releases like that cause problems? Or, in other words, is it wiser to do incremental upgrades? --Richard Schilling
