You need to specify a tag= either for *default or for src-all RELENG_6_2 for the latest 6.2 or RELENG_6_1 for the latest 6.1 (security updates) or RELENG_6 for whatever 6-STABLE is (6.2 right now but will soon enough be moving on towards 6.3.). http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html Especially noting the part: "There is an important special case that comes into play if you specify neither a tag= field nor a date= field. In that case, you receive the actual RCS files directly from the server's CVS repository, rather than receiving a particular version. " -- --
