Sure, but the problem is that CVSup won't delete anything it doesn't "own". If someone legitimately deletes a file from the sources between the time you last cvsup'd and the establishment of your new cvsup metadata, CVSup will refuse to delete the file(s). I've seen this cause problems, albeit more often wrt ports/*/*/patches Cheers, Jerry Hicks jhix@mindspring.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
