The CVS repository for the > ports and docs isn't required for making the release, is it? Correct, the CVS repository for ports and docs is not required for making a release. Given that you've got limited disk space, you should probably keep using checkout mode ("tag=.") for the ports and docs. There's no good reason for you to keep the repository around for those things, unless you get a thrill out of reading old commit logs. (And you can do that on the web anyway.) :-) John -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc. Seattle, Washington USA "Self-knowledge is always bad news." -- John Barth
