That is possible because the cvsupd server works directly from the CVS repository, which contains all of the versions.

Some tags are valid only for certain collections of files. If you specify an incorrect or misspelled tag, CVSup will delete files which you probably do not want deleted. In particular, use only tag=. for the ports-* collections.' > > I think that this states very clearly that there are no tags. > No it doesn't. It states clearly that you shouldn't use tags unless you know what you are doing, as several of us have explained more than once. Chris
