But the above > "release=cvs" makes cvsup mirror the CVS *repo* to your disk. Er, no, not quite. That would happen if the `tag=...' were to be missing, which it isn't. Basically, you have two possibilities for `release= ...' one of which is `cvs' in the case of a CVS repository, like the FreeBSD source, or `current' in the case of, say, the contents of the web site or the mail archives, where what you get is what's up-to-date at the moment, and it isn't a CVS repository. So the above line, with `release=cvs', is in fact correct. If our victim did in fact wish to mirror the CVS repository (RCS files, ending like Makefile,v and such), then the `tag= ...' line should be dropped entirely. (Or, to mirror -current, it should be `tag=.') barry bouwsma To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
