How come the Makefile under src/ doesn't have a version of the build about to be created (The only version information is for the Makefile itself 1.323 but that's not very helpful)? If it's there could somebody put it someplace that makes it easy to find. And UPDATING has NOTE TO PEOPLE WHO THINK THAT FreeBSD 7.x IS SLOW:.... But that's not helpful because it just tells me that I could inadvertently fetch 7.x stuff (which I probably just did since I have tag=.). uname -a reported 6.0-CURRENT (Gack current, doh *feint*). Here's what my cvsupme5 file looks like --- *default host=cvsup7.FreeBSD.org *default base=/usr *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs tag=. *default delete use-rel-suffix src-all ports-all Let me guess, since I'm using tag=. (Otherwise known as HEAD) it's going to get what ever is bleeding edge? Should I change that to tag=RELENG_6 (In hopes that cvsup doesn't grab bleeding edge stuff)? Assistance is greatly appreciated. And just when I had this all figured out too. :(
