The target "src-all" fetches a FreeBSD distribution. The "tag=" option can be used to select a particular version; "tag=." fetches HEAD (i.e. -CURRENT). The target "ports-all" fetches the ports collection. The only meaningful "tag=" value is "tag=." (that is, HEAD), because the ports collection doesn't use tags. -- brandon s allbery [openafs/solaris/japh/freebsd] allbery@kf8nh.apk.net system administrator [linux/heimdal/too many hats] allbery@ece.cmu.edu electrical and computer engineering KF8NH carnegie mellon university [better check the oblivious first -ke6sls]
