Unless I have missed something, the current csup manual page matches the code and thus seems up-to-date to me. You are talking about updating the manual page but your config.c patch actually changes a few default settings and modifies the manual page accordingly. To pick one example, you are changing the default base directory from /usr/local/etc/cvsup to /var/db. This seems to indicate you somehow confused the default FreeBSD settings with the default csup settings. It's true that we changed the default FreeBSD supfiles to use /var/db instead of /usr for the default base directory, but this has nothing to do with the default csup settings. I see no reason to change the default csup settings; it would just break the supfiles for people who use the default settings. So, it would be a POLA violation. It would also break compatibility with CVSup since it would still use the old defaults. Cheers, Maxime
