Version 15.2 is the current released version. It was released around the end of September, 1997. The wheels are being set in motion to convert the $Id$ strings in our repository files to $FreeBSD$. If you have an old version of CVSup, you are going to experience problems when this change occurs. The most likely symptom will be a whole slew of checksum mismatches on your updated files. To determine the version of CVSup that you are running, type "cvsup -v". The output should look like this: CVSup client Software version: REL_15_2 Protocol version: 15.4 If the software version doesn't say "REL_15_2" then you need to upgrade as soon as possible. You can do so with either the "cvsup" port/package or the "cvsup-bin" port/package, both of which are in the "net" category. Also, please check to make sure you don't have an old version of cvsup lying around in "/usr/local/sbin". The program belongs in "/usr/local/bin", but the earliest versions of it were installed in "/usr/local/sbin" due to a bad decision on my part. This has bitten a few people who thought they were up to date, but whose cron jobs were actually running the obsolete version. John -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
