Date: Sun, 29 Oct 1995 19:58:57 -0800 Message-ID: <10309.815025537@time.cdrom.com> From: "Jordan K. Hubbard" Sender: owner-hackers@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Right about now, I'm thinking that either: A) I don't understand sup. B) We did it wrong. Because rather than being able to do something like: sys release=stable host=freefall.cdrom.com hostbase=/home \ base=/usr prefix=/usr/src delete old compress I have to do: stable-sys release=current host=freefall.cdrom.com hostbase=/home \ base=/usr prefix=/usr/src delete old compress Same is true for CVS. Bleh! Wouldn't it be nice if "sys" (and all of its brothers and sisters) was always sys, and only the release= line changed? If nothing else, it sure would make ~sup on freefall cleaner. Am I missing something here? Jordan
