X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 05 Nov 2007 14:44:18 -0000 Hi, Because of severe problems wrt. a third party app (TSM Backup - see my previous post) I'm looking for a way to compile a kernel/system to a state as it was several weeks ago. To be specific I'd like to build my system/kernel using the source-files of FreeBSD 6.2 as they were back on September 14, 2007. In cvsup there seems to be a feature "date=..." that should be able to accomplish this. Has anybody out there used it sucessfully? Is specifying date=2007.09.13.23.59.00 together with the default-settings in my stable-cvsup-file *default host= *default base=/var/db *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_5 *default delete use-rel-suffix *default compress src-all enough? Anything else to consider? Thanks much in advance for any clue, -ewald
