It checks the local .ctm_status and then fetches successive deltas until the fetch fails. A second script ran ctm on the downloaded deltas to update my local CVS repo. If there's sufficient interest, I could make the scripts available. At $ex-work, I had an email subscription and had a script setup to run the emails through gpg and feed them into gpg. Unfortunately, I can't distribute that script. >Now, if you want something not offered by ctm (e.g. 8.2-release), then >you need to use svn. Or freebsd-update. The biggest downside of CTM ishat you can't pick arbitrary deltas - you can only fetch the head of pre-configured branches. The only way to get an older tree is to not apply deltas (ZFS snapshots are the best work-around here). --=20 Peter Jeremy --ffoCPvUAPMgSXi6H Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAlEGGSYACgkQ/opHv/APuIe89gCgsVfbLzJUKjqtvSVkfKD6UkPI q5YAn1tLe9P0gF7sUfM9qyl/ilbGXpdn =1j1S -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --ffoCPvUAPMgSXi6H--
