In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-current@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk You know, this may have something to do with the CVS repository fixup Peter Wemm has done in the last several weeks and the fact that some people may not have the most recent version of CVSup. John Polstra mentioned that this could be a problem due to bugs in releases prior to 14.1.1 of CVSup. SO, if you are seeing odd problems with CVSup, and don't have the most recent version: opus:/var/tmp> cvsup -v CVSup client Software version: REL_14_1_1 Protocol version: 14.0 Then get it! ftp://freefall.freebsd.org/pub/CVSup/cvsup-bin-14.1.1.tar.gz And PARTICULARLY CRITICAL is that all of the mirrors are running the corresponding cvsupd, but I don't think JDP would head out on vacation if that weren't the case. -Chris On Mon, 10 Mar 1997, Brian N.
