(see http://www.mail-archive.com/bug-cvs@gnu.org/msg02916.html) If you e. g. attempt cvs -d :pserver:user@host:/home/cvs co -r TAG module where /home is a symlink to /usr/home, cvs will die with "assertion failed". Since the cvs maintainers squashed this bug their favorite way ("don't do that"), and to my knowledge haven't expressed intent to really fix it, I'd like to ask if there's any interest in having this fixed in the BSD-specific patches to cvs which AFAIK contain useful stuff refused by the cvs people? -- FreeBSD 4.6-STABLE 8:43AM up 5:42, 4 users, load averages: 0.05, 0.02, 0.00 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
