Those error messages just don't correspond to it at all. First, the supfile specifies a prefix of "/usr", but the error messages indicate that the prefix is really "prefixes/FreeBSD.cvs". Second, it is complaining about "*,v" files, which you wouldn't be getting if you had "tag=." in your supfile. This looks exactly like you are using the supfile from the cvsup-mirror port, not the one you posted. John -- John Polstra John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
