It should just work with CVS, I'm not sure about RCS. The important thing for CVS is $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/options: tag=FreeBSD=CVSHeader tagexpand=iFreeBSD I'm no CVS expert, but I think that's all you need. I recall putting a similar thing in my personal repository to see if it worked and I think it did. So, if your CVS tree is up to date it should work. -- Ben Smithurst / ben@scientia.demon.co.uk / PGP: 0x99392F7D To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
