Unfortunately, I can't seem to win. I tried using sup, assuming that there whould be only a VERY few changes between 2.1.5 on the CD-ROM and 2.1.5-STABLE. Well, there do seem to be only a couple of changes here and there, but sup INSISTS on bringing in every file anyway. I'm using what I *thought* would keep it doing that: sup -u stable-supfile except that even if the file it is supping has exactly the same filedate and size, it is still replacing the linked file with a new copy! What the heck am I doing wrong, or am I doomed from the outset in trying to maintain an updated source tree based on the CD-ROM? -Dave
