The csup author already has posted work on -hackers for repo-copy mode a few months back. The OP mentions cvs-supfile, which suggests /usr/share/examples/cvsup/cvs-supfile. This supfile repo copies the entire FreeBSD cvs repository. To get anything useful, it needs to be checked out again, using cvs. This is mainly used for mirroring and if you want to get different branches to a machine in one download, maintain local patches etc. -- Mel Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules and never get to the software part.
